The Venus Project

O_O
70s' vision of the 21st century? Pretty much looks like it.

While I would love to live in that kind of environment, I doubt this comes to life because, even if they don't want money anymore, this'll be impossible to remove. Also, complety "destroying" current cities to reamke totally new cities like their ideal would be like... you can finish this sentence.

It does look like a nice place to live.

Probably at a completely new way of thinking like new forms of energy and a tougher state system and implants to tailor advertising to you and so they know exactly where you are.

im guessing a utopia with a totalitarian government and ending privacy as we know it (even as eroded as it is...)?

really odd
i was thinking more of 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 kinda of feel (without the grim society, of course....) which are all dystopian (or utopian, depends on your point of view of what a society should be and how it should act) in my eyes...

HAL:".....Fine, Dave. Just fine."
