About this project
Atropos Institute is fictional
Atropos Institute is not a real research institute, company, public body or academic organisation.
This website is an immersive companion to the novel State of Containment by Lee Barnes. It presents a fictional research institute, its programmes, publications, contributors and records as though they existed within the world of the book.
The Atropos Institute, its staff, research programmes, institutional publications, Local Record contributors and related system material are fictional unless a page explicitly states otherwise.
Real geographical locations, infrastructure and other recognisable real-world references may appear as part of the fictional setting. Their inclusion does not imply any association with, endorsement of, or participation in this project by the real organisations or individuals concerned.
The website is designed to extend the fictional world of State of Containment while remaining clearly identifiable as a companion project.
