Synopsis
Stories of the city.
The city that is impossible. Where the one true visionary will always be late because of the traffic. Where the pace is always frantic as the whole stutters and slows into stasis.
Then fast forward a generation. Freeze frame. Repeat again and again.
The city changing. Up front: the people, dense-packed, struggling, dealing, planning, cheating. Behind them, under their feet, above their heads, the city endlessly rebuilding, picking up on new ideas, new technologies, lit up by crisis after crisis like star shells projected into the blackness of the future.
