Matthew Anderson

Matthew Anderson (player: 1011X) is a (former) venture capitalist in San Francisco. He was involved in numerous secret weapons and robotics companies that were contracted by the military, and had over 300 confirmed partners, including some from China. His wife Karen, who he married late in his twenties, was also involved in the business, and they decided to get marry shortly after getting to know each other. They've had 2 children: Henry and Andrea. Henry was uninterested in management and instead preferred to pursue a lucrative career as a software engineer and IT professional. Andrea felt similarly, and decided to get into computer engineering and hardware circuitry.

After hearing about the escalations between the United States and east Asia, they decided on buying a lofty nuclear bunker (often referred to as "the vault") near the shore, with enough food and amenities to provide for their lifestyle. It finally proved useful when the nuclear holocaust hit in 2020. The world-ending event left them with only a few guards protecting them: Douglas, Daniel, Donna, and Dylan. During the 10 years locked in and spending much time with his family, Matt came to the realization that his money will barely mean anything in the outsize world, and that in order to stay alive outside, they must build relationships and help others without the support of the tech industry that ran the Bay Area.
