Space
- Space (or lack of) plays a key role in this series
- It starts with a single home in Simple Times, then
-- Ode to Suburbs 6^2 = 36 homes
-- All Leave Home (6^2)^2 = 36^2 = 1,296 dorms/apts
-- Abyss (6^3)^2 = 216^2 = 46,656 studio apts
- more space = more nostalgia
- less space (Abyss) = less room for nostalgia
Cramped
- We're young & not making much
- Live in small place, old building, it's worse then where we grew up, daily grind
- Offset by
- New people, endless excitement, new opportunities
- Our mind can get distracted & stay in abyss
- Or plan an escape
- Zoom into Abyss, still cramped
