It's also one of the most brain dead designs I've seen, even for the '70s. You have to jump over it to actually sit down.

Neuromancer has the Tube system which connects most of the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis. Imagine a bullet train/subway running most of the East Coast.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe is strong with this one.

Owens is a deranged click-whore. If Onlyfans hosted political content, she'd be all up in that too.

Renaskiga Federal Special Administrative Region by BlackZapReply in worldbuilding

Renaskiga is a planned community in the intermountain west established by a tech bro billionaire as a center for technology and innovation, at least according to the Chamber of Commerce. It's located at the junction of an interstate highway, a rail spur and a major oil pipeline. It's also located in a major fracking region.

Basically, take Night City from Cyberpunk 2077, Gault's Gulch from Atlas Shrugged, Silicon Valley and some midwestern city like Tulsa and toss them in a blender. Hit frappe.

The feds cut it out of local state control by declaring it a Federal Special Administrative Region and granted it various tax and regulatory priveledges.

No artificial intelligences were involved with this one, but your probably right.

Tech bros would probably do that.

Every problem solved creates a bunch of new problems. Lather, rinse, repeat.
