From the introduction: The city of Utopolis is a shining beacon of all that mankind has achieved in the past 50 years. Monumental skyscrapers of shiny glass and steel dominate the skyline. Each is virtually a city itself, with living space, businesses, and entertainment all contained within. Pedestrian slidewalks and sky bridges connect these bastions of modernity, while rooftop aerodromes allow quick jaunts by automatically-piloted jetcars or aerotaxis should the need arise.
