Details of Box World
Each box is 2x2 meters
Each box has Virtual Reality, on all four walls and holo-projectors
The floor can be a treadmill
There is a table, a chair and a terminal. Toilet, shower, bed, exercise machine, lights, AC, food and water dispensers.
Occupants are also given 'muscle drugs' as well as anti-claustrophobia drugs and anti-depressants
Occupants have access to games, quizzes, piped in television (a thousand channels of every kind of entertainment) and countless virtual realities.
Boxes are stacked up in 'massive hives'
The only crimes are libel and slander. This is removed by moderators
Each box is serviced by cleaning and repair bots. They live in cubbies. They can move between boxes via their own tubes. They can also change nappies.
Beyond the metal walls of the box is insulation foam and pipes.
Between each box is an area of about a metre full of pipes, cables and wires and AC ducts, then an outer shell of 'shipping container'.
Each box has a maintenance exit
Between each container is a two foot void
Above all the boxes, in at least some areas are poly tunnels full of tomatoes and sheds full of cows. They are tended to by the bots
