17th Century Medical Saw[]

 USB Relic
17th Century Medical Saw
There were many medical advances in 17th century Europe, but unfortunately a germ theory of disease wasn't one of them.
While a lack of sanitary surgical conditions posed serious risks for patients, many lifesaving techniques, such as blood vessel ligation and tourniqueting, were also pioneered during this period.
The prevailing theory of disease at the time was that illness originated from "miasma" or "bad air" that emanated from rotting organic matter.
Properly disposing of rotting organics was a step in a sanitary direction to be sure, but the miasma theory failed to account for the invisible pathogens that may have been living on, say, a saw used to hack off people's limbs.

Bartmann Jug[]

 USB Relic
Bartmann Jug
Bartmann jugs were originally produced in Germany's Rhineland region and their name means "bearded man."
They were used for storage and transportation, but are mostly remembered as being "witch bottles."
To make a witch bottle, people would fill one of these jugs with things like hair, urine or nails. Then they would usually boil it.
The finished witch bottle was buried in order to protect the user from evil forces, curses and other supernatural torments.
Warding rituals like these are a common characteristic of human cultures in both the past and present.

British Abolition Medallion[]

 USB Relic
British Abolition Medallion
Josiah Wedgwood contributed enormously to the development of industrialism and technology in the late 18th century, and he was also a strong supporter of abolitionism.
This medallion was created by Wedgwood for Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, but the medallion soon became popular among Londoners, and brought even more attention to the issue.

Cocaine Vial[]

 USB Relic
Cocaine Vial
Cocaine was legal in the UK until 1920. Up until then, it was prescribed by doctors for everything from "furred tongues" to flatulence. Now, possession of cocaine carries a punishment of up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. However, it's still legal for medical use as a local anesthetic.

Egyptian Artifact[]

 USB Relic
Egyptian Artifact
A small Egyptian statue from approximately 14th century BCE, depicting a figure standing in "Osirian pose." It appears to be authentic. This statue was most likely brought into London to be displayed in one of its many museums.

Floppy Disk[]

 USB Relic
Floppy Disc
NewSkies was a game released by the London-based Britplay Software in 1989.
A first-person arcade adventure, it tells the story of a soldier taking part in the human invasion of Mars. The player is tasked with crushing a resistance movement by destroying secret alien weapons caches, propaganda materials and Martian commanders.
It was a dismal failure. Britplay Software was liquidated and its CEO began a new career in government intelligence, where he found his ideas were much better received.

Lead Soldier[]

 USB Relic
Lead Soldier
Originally made as toys for children, these small lead figurines have largely become collectors' items.
This one depicts a 19th century private with a rifle and Union flag. The scarlet tunic was worn widely, though not exclusively, by most regiments of the British Army, Royal Marines and some colonial units from the 17th to the 20th century. This uniform has been worn by British soldiers in conflicts on every continent on the planet.
The factory that made this particular toy was destroyed in the Blitz.

Masquerade Ball Prop[]

 USB Relic
Masquerade Ball Prop
Props like these are popular in traditional stagings of Shakespeare.
Italian masks were in fashion during the Elizabethan period, both in the theatre and at some social events.
Shakespeare himself was strongly influenced by an Italian style of theatre called the commedia dell'arte, where masks similar to this one were used to represent certain common character archetypes.
"The Tempest" one of Shakespeare's most enduring plays, was inspired by a popular commedia scenario. Masks like these are a beautiful reminder of Britain's long history of multiculturalism.
For those who feel the present slipping out of their control, Antonio's most famous line from The Tempest may be a comfort: "Whereof what's past is prologue; what to come, in yours and my discharge."

Mobile Phone[]

 USB Relic
Mobile Phone
Human beings are social creatures. The species thrives only when it cooperates and communication technology enhances this essential survival behaviour. Language allowed hunters to better coordinate their kills; telephones allowed businesses, governments and social groups to operate more efficiently.
Mobile phones increased the efficiency of these societal relationships even further by removing the requirements for a user to be in a specific physical location. The hunters could now coordinate with one another from anywhere on the planet, in real time.
Subsequent advances in mobile technology have increased the richness of the communication by increasing the density and volume of information any particular device can transfer between users in the same time interval, but the essential function remains the same.
It may look quaint to modern eyes, but the humble flip phone is baked deep in DNA of the current information-soaked world.

Nineteen Eighty-Four[]

 USB Relic
Nineteen Eighty-Four
In 1949, British author George Orwell wrote his seminal book about a then-futuristic mid-eighties society where every citizen was stripped of their individuality and liberty, reduced to a simple resource to be exploited by the ruling powers: a shadowy totalitarian government known as "The Party."
Some argue that "The Party" is, itself, what happens when a government is stripped of a motivating ideology and desire to improve the lives of its citizens, reduced to a simple lever of power.
Late in the story, Orwell summarizes his vision of the future with one visceral image: "a boot, stamping on a human face, forever."

Platform Shoe[]

 USB Relic
Platform Shoe
While disco originated in Europe, it never reached the same dizzying popularity in the UK that it did in America. British disco fever did reach a moderate temperature through the early to mid 1970, from whence this shoe originates.
By the 1970s, the UK's major counterculture movements were in decline, but the aesthetics echoed for longer. What's culturally codified as "cool" in one decade is almost always devoured, digested and reproduced for the next, at a healthy markup.
Then again, maybe it's just a cool shoe.

Radio Londres Microphone[]

 USB Relic
Radio Londres Microphone
The British people are famous all over for the world for their stiff upper lip. Even in WWII, when the capital was under direct attack by German rockets, the English people's upper lips were so defiantly stiff that they struck terror into the hearts of the aggressors and inspired the French Resistance.
Radio Londres aired between 1940 and 1944 to combat German propaganda and keep the French morale high.
This microphone is the same make and model as the one used to send a fragment of Verlaine's Chanson d'automne over the Channel shortly before the D-Day landings.
This message was the coded call to action for the French Resistance.

Scooter Headlamp[]

 USB Relic
Scooter Headlamp
"Mods" and "rockers" were two antagonistic subcultures that arose in England in the 60s. Mods rode scooters and wore slick, Italian-inspired clothes. Rockers favoured motorcycles and leather. Both had an enormous influence on music and fashion across the world.
Much of the media coverage at the time focused on physical violence between the two groups. In 1964, mods and rockers clashed along the south coast in a series of fistfights that was dubbed "The Second Battle of Hastings."
Newspapers and politicians seized on the event as evidence of the country's apparent downward spiral into chaos and violence. One MP used the event to support a proposed legislative response to increasing hooliganism.
A decade later, academics criticised the media coverage of mods and rockers as overblown and, at times, extremely misleading. The term "moral panic" was coined to describe the attitude toward the subcultures by the British media in the sixties.
The subjects of moral panics since the Second Battle of Hastings include: the Satanic Panic of the 80s, rock and roll music, tabletop RPGs and violent videogames.

TOAN Conference Pass[]

 USB Relic
TOAN Conference Pass
David Levin took part in the Technology of all Nations Conference, speaking on current advances in the field of autonomous litigation. He argued that AI could pave the way for major reforms in the criminal justice system. Judges would be first assisted, and eventually replaced, by AI that could weigh evidence and interpret the law in a truly unbiased way.

Prototype (Optik 0.1)[]

 USB Relic
Prototype (Optik 0.1)
The Blume Optik is the most important advance in consumer electronics since the smartphone.
One of the oldest challenges in personal computing is reducing the interval between user input and machine output. If the time between keystroke and feedback is too long, the user will disengage. The genius of the smartphone was how it took this problem out of the digital space. It reduced the time between the user needing a computer and having one at hand.
The Optik reduces this interval even further. With an "always on" configurable augmented reality display, there is now almost no reason to ever "put your phone away."
The physical size of this prototype made it impractical for the average user, so it never reached market. But once Blume sufficiently miniaturized the technology, the line between the digital world and the real one wasn't just blurred, it was erased.

DedSec Bracelet[]

 USB Relic
DedSec Bracelet
After a major DedSec operation led to the arrest of Blume's CTO in America, cells started popping up all over the world, including London.
At first, DedSec London modeled itself after the organizations across the Atlantic, namely Chicago and San Francisco.
But what began as a hacktivist organization that disrupted government and corporate power took on the character of an underground resistance as the power of the government and corporations grew, and the world itself grew darker.
It wasn't long before the original members of DedSec London embraced their new role, and began describing themselves in those terms.
The fate of the original DedSec is still shrouded in mystery. The original owner of this bracelet is unknown.

Fake DedSec Business Card[]

 USB Relic
