My son had an entire city in his head when he was a short person. Folks moved around on "conveyor belts" (for lack of a better name) and the "belts" knew no limits...anywhere you could think of, that's where they would take you.
Dang...I wish he could have shared it sooner...
I just came up with a new quote. Someone please help as to its deep/shallow meaning if any.
OK, here it is:
"Those who seek will not find; those who found will not seek."
Should I add to to my illustrous list of quotations, or what?
What's you opinion? I'd like to know.
Now, where is that can....?
Cool. I like the image...
That reminds me of...
(Y'all are just making me have sf literary connections all over the place.)
The Roads Must Roll - Robert Heinlein,
And for some reason that I cannot understand, "Repent, Harlequin," said the Ticktock Man by Harlan Ellison. That story has nothing to do with your son's image, but it rudely butted into my associating SF images.
That sorta sounds like this place. We have movie theaters, food shops, ice cream parlors, petting zoos, swimming pools, shooting ranges, archery courts, (no bowling alleys!), shops, farms, labs, factories, astronomy labs, and somewhat magical creatures -- and they are all within walking distance or a short "tube" ride away.
The elevator cars are spherical for a reason. They have to rotate and re-orient within the tube. If you go to an adjacent habitat for a fish dinner, for example, its gravitational field will be rotated by 120 degrees.
With up to ten thousand people in our shared space, only minutes apart, there aren't many limits on activities.
