It's settled! I'm moving to the future as soon as I can possibly gather the funds to book my flight. Dubai reminds me of the dramatic cityscapes of the cyberpunk genre: supercities graphically rendered with shoddy 1980's architecture software. Then again, until it is fully realized, that's exactly what it will continue to be. I predict that Dubai will be the backdrop of neo-cyberpunk works both literary and cinematic. It's the perfect dystopian wonderland. Lets just cross our fingers and hope this city isn't sunk into the Arabian Sea by its builders' hubris.

Oh how I love that you used cyberpunk. I'm trying to make cyberpunk fetch. HAHA. Dubai is going to be crazy, all the new buildings their putting in, SO AMAZING!
I am a carbon-based life form with a state of the art heart. I'm a little too cynical for my liking. But it's okay. I deal. I wouldn't have considered buying a lot of the books on my bookshelf if it hadn't been for their covers. The same cannot be said for the magazines I own. I do not actually own a bookshelf, just so you know.
