I believe we had this topic for a previous WWBC post, and my answers are probably going to be pretty similar this time around.
The Star Trek universe is somewhere I’d love to live because of how many current social problems are rarely if ever an issue there due to the existence of replicators, advanced medical treatments, and other cool technological and social advancements.
I’ve love to visit the woods between worlds from The Magician’s Nephew, the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Little Lydia was annoyed that we only got to see a couple of the worlds that could be visited through that in-between place. There were so many other ponds to explore.
Becky Chambers’ Monk and Robot duology has another peaceful setting I’d love to explore. I could be quite happy living in harmony with nature if I picked the right community to visit there. Their methods of ensuring that work got done appealed to me, too, because of how customizable it was and how forgiving it was for people who are disabled or more talented at some skills than at others. You do just about anything useful for a community: growing food crops, washing dishes, providing medical care, fixing bicycles or other machines, caring for children or adults who needed it, teaching kids how to read, etc. There weren’t any judgements about who did what. It was all appreciated which is quite refreshing when compared to how certain types of work are over or undervalued in modern society in my experience.
How about all of you?
Star Trek of the 1990s would indeed be a great place to visit if not for the world itself, then for the holodecks!!
Absolutely. 🙂
I also chose The Star Trek universe and the woods between worlds is a great shout! I felt similarly about the possibilities of that place.
Somehow I knew you would. 🙂
Hi, Lydia. Sorry I haven’t been commenting much lately, but I always enjoy your posts. I agree, the Star Trek universe would indeed be an interesting place to visit.
I also wanted to let you know our mutual friend Richard Pastore has written a short story available to read on his blog, and I think you would enjoy it. I’ll be reviewing it this Friday if you are interested. 🙂
No problem, Berthold. Life gets busy for everyone at times.
I’ll come check out your review on Friday!
These are great responses! I’d love to visit the world of Star Trek, too. Mainly because I want to meet both Picard and Quark. Hah!
Oh, that would be fun. Thanks, Aymee.
Star Trek and London would be neat to visit, Lydia. Not sure if I would survive a Star Trek world. LOL! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Cheryl. 🙂
Definitely the Star Trek universe. I would love to meet alien races.
Yes!
Yep, got my red security uniform all ready, we’ll just beam down to this planet and–
But yeah, that aside the Star Trek universe would be a real pleasure, and I would *love* to explore the Woods between the Worlds.
I have Monk and Robot but I haven’t gotten around to reading them yet; I should do that.
I think you’d love that book, Michael!
The woods between the worlds would be interesting. I didn’t think of any of these but I thought of ten.
Cool!
