The far future

This is a viewing of the 2250's, approx 250 years into the future. Most people now live in a dome city. This is the 2250's the heyday of the flying car, later teleporters would replace the flying car. Sadly a few terrible accidents with teleporters had spooked most of the population and it would be years before they would gain wide acceptance.

HERE WE GO!

Luminous highly stylized buildings of the far tomorrow shown brilliantly in the intense evening autumn sky. Far below elegant sophisticated urbane men strolled down the moving sidewalks. The automatic roadways of the far futurity were made of highly polished steel with a dramatic gray luster. Above were noiseless vehicles - flying cars created with superlative craftsmanship that seemed floating works of art under the crystalline canopy of the dome city. I seemed to be inside a very intricate highly developed society that functioned like a well oiled machine.

Words cannot convey the fabulous wealth or the sumptuous splendor of the people I saw. They seemed like the products of advanced genetic engineering, like perfect supermodels. Even a rich rajah would have felt like a humble dirty beggar next to these perfect people. Their glittering glamorous golden mansions seemed to be encrusted with diamonds with a sparkling rainbow of colors radiating out. Even the moving sidewalks had an iridescent strange glow about them. A fine mist filled the air giving everything a glistening dew drop appearance. Inside the great houses fist sized diamonds cut with meticulous craftsmanship adorned the regal walls. Within these walls it seemed like the treasures plundered from a thousand worlds were within. A magical glow from shimmering diamonds and lustrous 24K gold blinded me with its beauty. Every polished lustrous surface seemed encrusted with gem stones. It looked more like a jewelry store than a house, except no shop ever sold anything this opulent. The spectacular fantastic accumulation of wealth was way beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Not even Caesar in imperial Rome could dream of such luxury.
