I love me a good metaverse.

Particularly one tied to a really cool, futuristic city that looks like a real city I’d love to live long enough to actually reside in one day. Nothing against cartoony, gamified metaverses, but I just don’t find them visually engaging. They’re not a place I might want to hang out all day.

But Heaven Land?

Well, it might just be heaven-sent for metaverse freaks like me.

Stick with me for a moment while I try to paint this picture for you:

Imagine the city of tomorrow from Disney’s Tomorrowland, and sort of love-child that with the reimagined version of a 26th century London from Netflix’s Brave New World. Now, set that city in space, within Earth’s orbit, so that you can look down on our little blue marble and it appears so close you could probably reach it by way of an hour’s journey. And then… wrap it around the interior of a megalopolis-sized tube called Tubus, with a city-sized, elevator-like transport column linking both sides of the tube right through the wide-open center.

That is Heaven Land.

Or, rather, this is Heaven Land

Frankly, the picture does no justice to what’s taking shape. When you finish reading this dispatch, go watch…
