	Amazon.com: City and the Stars, The: Books: Arthur C. Clarke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Men had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar; for millennia its protective dome shutout the creeping decay and danger of the world outside.
		Set in the very far future, so far that many main sequence stars have started to die, this is a story of two very different paths that two different groups of humans have taken to the puzzle of existence and life.
		In the city of Diasper, we have a totally enclosed and static society, where people live for a thousand years, then store their memories for some later computer controlled reincarnation, where anything outside the city is not only totally ignored, its very existence is practically denied.

		The city and the stars starts being a novel of mystery and investigation in a decadent and futuristic surrounding to evolve gradually into a history about human superation.
		In the city of Diaspar, we have a totally enclosed and static society, where people live for a thousand years, then store their memories for some later computer controlled reincarnation, where anything outside the city is not only totally ignored, its very existence is practically denied.

	Gilded Prisons of Technology
		In a single note of optimism, that is as Spartan as the life described in the story, the author suggests that this society has to die so a more vigorous society can be reestablished on the earth's surface.
		Clarke names the city Diaspar, as if to say that when humanity surrenders its will to technology, and loses itself in an artificial world of its own creation, it is in a kind of Diaspora, a state of exile, from the world and from itself.
		Beneath the city is a dilapidated labyrinth-world of the sewers -- the refuse of society who refuse to be nice and refuse to be controlled.

		Above Blanchot's community[17], no star can last more than an instant; the stars fall and their fiery trails illuminate the darkness from which they emerge and to which they return.

		The great city of Diaspar, as far as its inhabitants know, is the last city on earth and has existed in its present form for a billion years, its existence maintained and renewed by the city’s central computer mind and its memory banks.
		People, too, live forever; they emerge from the memory banks, live for a thousand years, then return to the memory banks to be resurrected tens or even hundreds of thousand of years later – to find Diaspar pretty much the same as they’d left it.
		Everyone else in Diaspar ignores anything outside of the city, and is in fact afraid of what is outside.

		I question how few Brooklyn restaurants received stars: certainly Al di La, Applewood, Tempo and Stone Park are "worth the trip." I have used Michelin in France and found it omitted many small-town, mom-and-pop restaurants from consideration.
		The city is too big and people don't go to enough of the restaurants to create a level scoring field.
