The other night I was watching something - I think it was Robots. One of the things I love about that movie is Robot City itself. I love how its all put together and its gears and stuff. And it got me thinking about other cool cities I'd like to live in from movies - Coruscant and the city from the 5th Element come to mind. anyway, I was talking with my wife about it and she raised an intriguing question - If I actually lived in a place like that, what would be my "lot in life"? What would my social status be? Would I be rich, poor, middle class, poverty? What would I do for employment? And so it got me thinking - what would it truely be like? I love to experience the rich and decadent life of some wealthy businessman living in a high-rise apartment in Coruscant's business district. I'd also like to experience the dirty and gritty life on the street. In reality, I'd probably be about the same as I am now - average job, not a lot of excitement, and just enough money to get by. Which, in turn leads to another thing - why I like gaming. I can do and be anything I want and if carried out right, its a lot of fun.
So the question is, if you existed in one of these great sci-fi worlds - or any kind of world for that matter, what would your life be like? Who would you be, what would you do? Social status? Family? Employment?
