quote 20:13:05
Cities look to me to be our most characteristic technology. We didn’t really get interesting as a species until we became able to do cities—that’s when it all got really diverse, because you can’t do cities without a substrate of other technologies.
William Gibson, The Art of Fiction No. 211 in the Paris Review.
My world seems to be a series of tightly-connected cities, separated by a series of scenery for viewing from trains or planes.
