The Thin Cities

The City of the Lightweight

The City of the Lightweight floats above the others, untethered by heavy assets. Every building must weigh less than 512 kilobytes. The architecture is skeletal but functional, proving that beauty does not require bloat.

The citizens form teams—Green, Orange, Blue—based on their lightness. They despise the heavy trackers and the megabyte-sized images that weigh down the world below.

"We travel fast," they say, "because we carry nothing we do not need."
