After reading this chapter, I was really obsessed with different cities introduced in science fiction. The author linked these imagined cities to cities in reality, and it reveals the prototypes of future cities to help us further understand them as well. One type of city is really interesting named Distributed City. It means cities are physically separate but cities still cooperate. There is no any typical distributed city in the real world, but Global City is similar to it with global economy help. Nowadays, geographical boundaries may become unnecessary due to the emergence of advanced transportation and internet. Therefore, cities settled in different locations can also cooperate with each other such as, trading goods. Globalization has become a trend and the world can be treated as a well-connected unit. In my opinion, presenting imagined cities in the movies is meaningful since it can become a medium to comment cities in reality.
