 Welcome
to 1989. Cars have fins the size of cutter sails, personal
helicopters are commonplace, and housing has gone "green".
That's green as in sealing off the house beneath a giant dome of "glassteel"
so that the occupants can utterly ignore the outside world.
Perfect for the suburbanite who hates nature with a bottomless
passion.
Solar powered and revolving to
follow the sun, the house of 1989 is fully air conditioned and even
enjoys a constant supply of year-round veggies thanks to its hydroponic
gardens–though they look more like fish ponds. There's even a
glassed off "quiet spot" for the missus so she can scream her head off
in complete privacy when the mindless tedium starts to get to her.
I like the staircase, though.
Indoor tobogganing, anyone? |
