I'm reminded of Coruscant, the capitol city of the Galaxy in Star Wars. It's a planet completely engulfed in a city miles deep to the point where the tip of the highest mountain, the last remaining bit of natural surface, is a feature in a park several levels down.
I shuddered when I saw it... sure it looks amazing, until you realise you're looking at a corpse of what was once a living world.
Plus, I have this bad feeling that it presages our future, with the remaining bits of 'nature' carefully preserved in wild-life parks and so on, and nowhere to escape the ever watchful eye of The State and other people.
