New York City

New York City is the key portal connecting the old world and the new.

It rose with the age of sail, with all it's advancements and brutalities, becoming the core node of the industrial system by geographic advantage, unrivaled diversity, and the Big-Thinking that comes with it.

This city is a great experiment to see if everyone on earth can live together. It's a place of beauty and horror, joy and misery, and control and chaos. It's an incredible kaleidoscope through which to try and understand what's happening on earth, how we got here, and where we might be going. And it's fun as hell. New York has got it all.
