Check out my new community doxiadis, named for Constantinos Doxiadis, who coined the word ecumenopolis (referring to planets completey covered with cities). Please let me know what you think of the concept, and the subject matter. Be honest, but constructive.

On a Foundation bender again, eh?

[kraibald]

kinda, mostly I read the definition of ecumenoplis on wikipedia, and its subsequent links, and was so inspired. But then I've long held the belief that my muse has been out to do bad things to me.

Yeah, and on top of it all, I just noticed that you've been using a Hari Seldon userpic as your default for several months now. I'm flaking out.

(lostlittlesoul's husband bought me a copy of Foundation in 1987 or so... and I don't think I ever finished it. I gotta get around to that, one of these days.)

Think positive... your muse is out to do good things to you.

The Foundation series is awesome. I've always been attracted to the idea of psychohistory. The two prequels "Prelude to Foundation" and "Forward the Foundation" deal extensively with the original ecumenoplis, Trantor.
