As soon as 2030, consumers might be able to press a button and order an air taxi straight to their cloud-tethered office. In the decades that follow, we may ultimately have fewer and fewer reasons to descend to the earth below, conducting our business and our lives atop a city in the sky.

I'm afraid of falling now. I can imagine future me tripping on a crack in a sidewalk and plummeting to the ground below "Sky City".
