The City (4x7)

Uitzenddatum: Nov 12, 1992

How does the city affect the characters who live there and the way a story is told is the question Commander Rick answers tonight with the help of comic book creators Will Eisner (Invisible People), Peter Kuper (New York, New York), Alan Grant (Judge Dredd), and Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), and speculative fiction writers: Discworld creator Terry Pratchett discusses designing a fantasy city (Small Gods), Mary Gentle (The Architecture of Desire) and James Patrick Kelly (Look Into the Sun) discuss the use of architecture in fiction, while William Gibson ("The Gernsback Continuum") discusses his future metropolises and Michael Moorcock (The Dreaming City) talks about dodging bullets in L.A.
