The Goldern Era

[Easykill]

I'd say about now; I'm torn between curiosity of the future and paranoia of a 1984 type world.

 

[Anarchemitis]

Last week, when I was on vacation.
Or a more make sensical suggestion:
I've always adored Steampunky things like Industrial revolution Britain, or simply artsy things like renaissance Venice.

Definatley the 60's, if only to see all the raygun-gothic diners.

Give me the 1920's anyday. The fact that I could walk around in a suit all day and not look like an estate agent or fancy-dressed reveller would be marvellous.

EDIT:
Obviously I would have to be fairly rich, and either survive the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression or simply avoid 1929 at all costs.

Probably late 1800s, in some country not being colonized and not being America (too much racism in anything before 1970s). An awesome era in the arts. But if I was being honest, I'd have to say now just for laptops and iPods.

 

[Jeroen Stout]

Any ol' Post-Modern life would be awesome. A world in which comminucation and information are seamless, filled with people who know the cliché's of life but accept it.

I am just curious, how would seamless comminucation and information improve the world? Would people really be happier for it?

The people of today wouldn't be -they're used to locking themselves in - but the people of that world would be used to it, of course

Just about all the time that Judaism was still the predominant monotheistic religion on earth. (Dam you christians, stealing our thunder!)

Also the time when the Russian communist revolution was still seen as successful by anyone besides Russian dictators (How long did that last, a few years?)

 

[John Galt]

roman times, around the transition from republic to empire.

Got to agree. I'm reading a novel based in those times (First Man In Rome) and it's all quite fascinating stuff.
