Laziness was overcome and everything from Ithaka regarding building the Rock Cities has been lifted to the book which has the currently less-than-illuminating title of "The Rock City Saga" and it runs out to forty pages already so even if it confirms nothing else it definitely shows I'm a windy bugger.
Cadillac Man, the transplantation process from Ithaka to iBooks Author took at most half an hour. When we have talked about developing vignettes in a blog about your soda fountain adventures, it would work the same way. The 'writing a book' aspect is not difficult. Thinking up a book may have some difficulties but there are few in getting it into print.
Transplanting the articles didn't involve any formatting and that will be slightly time-consuming but not much. It's definitely in motion.
One thing this will force inevitably is greater structuring since dancing about with different whims for ideas of how to build it will only create confusion. That's what I will do and it's fortune telling so no need for much of that.
The idea is good and maybe it takes a hundred years before people get cracking on it but ultimately they will because the horizontal expansions of cities, given as technically as possible, doesn't fucking work. When people often need to spend several hours a day just to commute to work, you've got a broken system. Therefore, we will build underground where we will build horizontally and also vertically which will substantially reduce the distances anyone has to travel within the city to get from Point A to Point B.
People have accepted the soul-killing nightmare of commuting because we don't see any viable alternative so we have further highly-technical advice to fucking build something and hence the Rock Cities.
Don't be thinking the ground-level world has gone sterile or something terrible of that nature. The beaches are all still there although probably not where we last saw them due to climate change. We can ask Surfer Joe who lives near the beach if he wants to move into a Rock City but we doubt he will want to go.
"So long as I have some good bud and some good waves, I have everything I need."
Jeff Spicoli, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
The migration to the Rock Cities is a voluntary thing rather than some regimented mandate from the state. The object is to make them cool enough that people want to be in them because of the many advantages. Those advantages are real and hence the book.
Building the Rock Cities is the first part but the Sociology is the second part and all manner of things bubble about on that one. We can probably agree Sociology is getting a fail in the world just now so, as with everything else, we want to fix that and we believe we can.
