Me thinking about what an arcology would be like when I was playing the hot new game Sim City 2000: “Imagine the technology in these things, and maybe they’re an important option for human expansion if propulsion technology doesn’t make huge leaps, and oh maybe with some really good deep geothermal for power they can be so land area efficient…”
Me thinking what an arcology would be like when I exist in 2025: “Yeah they were pretty coo- wait… What about the governments? What about the corporations that build and administrate these things and employ people? Are all those entities even distinct from one another? This isn’t a post scarcity Star Trek techno heaven, it is a real world Final Fantasy 7 shit pie with the haves living literally on top of the have-nots. No, no, forget that, these things are going to destroy the mental health of the people in them even before we add the evils of modern society!!”
