Victory City is not a futuristic idea of how people should live nor a utopia but an old-fashioned premonition of future. It makes me remember about 50’s films or Big Brother book where they showed us the future, where man acted like robots following one man’s desire.
May be, people at first would like this new way of life, being safe from crime, living in a clean environment and close to their jobs, but it wouldn’t take so long for people to get kind of stressed, bored with their day-to-day lives and start to complain and asking for more freedom to do what they want to and not follow a schedule that tells them what to do, what to eat, where to live, etc.
Actually what we hate becomes what we love. We may not like crowded places but we love going out and meet different people or we don’t like everyday’s disorder but a life without it would become exhausting. In urbanistic or in enviroment terms the Victory City would work efficiently, but is the human behaviour what Mr Orville has forgotten.
