This is a long vision, with several parts, so it gets an issue all by itself. It is 2075 and the earth is such like a garden that the beings and creatures living upon her are increasingly awed and fed by the warmth of her divinity. There are experimental communities of all varieties upon the earth.
Transportation is easily accessible, global and inexpensive.
People have no need of passports and use thumbprints to electronically register and designate their whereabouts for easy contact by friends and loved ones. However, this procedure is not mandatory and someone wishing to retreat or withdraw may bypass the process by choice. Tessla coils, electromagnetic generators, semiconductors, nuclear fussion and related technologies have advanced to developments and uses that we could not yet dream of as this vision was first written. Appliances and communications are entirely wireless. Most routine chores and activities are automated or robotized, leaving individuals free to develop creative talents and interests.
