Do you recall the GENOM Ziggurat?

If you're old and remember VHS tapes, then you might recall listening to some J-Pop while watching night fall over MegaTokyo.* In Bubblegum Crisis**, the future was pretty grim, but astonishingly well rendered with the city glowing in iridescent, neon-light.

Flash forward to now, and this video of Chicago.*** Honestly, I thought it was MegaTokyo for a minute.

We are in the future and it is AMAZING.****

hope you enjoy,
t.



* Ok, fine, maybe neo-tokyo (akira) is a better example

**never BGC2040 - what a misogynist nightmare

***no offense to Tony Anderson, but it needs a blues or jazz soundtrack. So play something else like this starting the music first, and muting the Chicago video or this, which is more appropriate, then you'll be even happier

**** but we still don't have (many) flying cars

That is very cool :)

btw - there's a problem with the link (I was getting "server not found" errors), but it is easily correctable by manually adding a colon after the http in the URL

Speaking of Genom Tower, I did a massive doubletake the first time I saw this
