157 - "Meanwhile, a common feature of virtually every 1984-esque "communist nightmare world of tommorrow" book is the densely populated city with people crowded into identical little cube dwellings stacked on top of one another in the middle of an urban wasteland."

Ah, this was not a story, it was a fact of the Communist East Berlin - Row after Row of identical grey concrete 20 story tall apartment buildings. It was amazing, like going into a concrete block storage yard, and a concrete block plant.

And Herman would have loved it - no cars. Empty streets, void of traffic except for a few trucks, and everyone going by mass transit.

Lovely place. Herman's ideal.
