In my opinion, all the designs and ideas of how future cities should be like are unrealistic, namely, migratory cities that could fly, walk, float etc., in attempt to escape from environmental pollution, climate changes and so on. However, these extreme and unprecedented ideas are nevertheless rather inspiring, and warning, reminding people that the earth is degrading. A science fiction writer is also mentioned in the reading, Isaac Asimov. He made a statement which I think is the overall message that all these futuristic city designs are trying to convey. The statement is as follow: we should take the set of actions that are likely to prolong human civilisation and reduce the length of a dark age if we were in one and I cannot agree more with it.

A thoughtful and clear response to the reading on Abbot. Given the concluding quote, do you think we are currently living through another wave of dark age? Please expand, curious to hear your thoughts.
