A lone engineer from a distant land arrives at a mysterious ruin. Found inside are strange gold colored men. The engineer, after much hardship, arrives inside an odd room. Therein, Arzach can be seen on a viewing screen.
Just what is going on here? The age of post-history and post-utopia has generated several distinct chronotopes, but here I will focus on one only: the Moebius city.
The city has been the pre-eminent site of modernity, the cradle of technological and social progress. But even dystopian cities were situated in the ordinary three-dimensional space. However, more and more often we encounter cities whose topology, rather than architecture, precludes escape. A Moebius city is not simply a carceral place; it is a carceral space. Consider J. Why do urban time and space fold into an inescapable loop? In both stories, oppression comes not from the outside, but from the inside, of the individual.
If the Concentration City appears to be an impersonal machine of distorted spacetime, Billennium and Chronopolis are jails built by people for others and for themselves. The inhabitants literally have no memories that would enable them to re construct a coherent self-narrative; they are bits and pieces of random identities, randomly glued together.
They are caught in one endlessly repeating night, during which they can play roles of the killer or the victim, the detective or the fugitive, based on the whims of their alien overlords. They have duration but no chronology. The Moebius city reappears in several recent cyberpunk texts, in which the impossible topology is created by the layering of virtual and physical spaces.
Cy- berspace, in fact, problematizes this very distinction because while undeniably real, it is at the same time non-corporeal. In Solitaire, the protagonist is incarcerated in a virtual jail that is located in the simulacrum of Hong Kong — one of the great global cities, a somewhat tar- nished symbol of urban modernity.
At the end, the chronotope of Atopia is that of a labyrinth with no exit, in which the very distinction between physical and digital is rendered moot.
