Where would you live?

[fbhjr]

Last night I couldn’t sleep.  My right big toe is still a bit numb from the
boot/washout problem we had 2 months ago, the tooth I had worked on last
month is still bothering me some.

That sort of thing always makes me think: If I could go off to a fictional
universe to get my medical problems dealt with, where would I go?
And, as long as I’m dimension jumping anyhow, where would be a good place
to retire.

The clear winner for both, as least for me, is the Culture in the Ian M
Banks books.  But, more people know the various TV places.  So, I thought
I’d ask you about those.

Where would you want to live?
Where would you want to work?
Where would you want to get your health care?

For me, I’d go to the doctors on Satellite Five (before the Daleks get
there) and probably live on Earth of the later Star Trek franchises.
Except for one Breen attack, that seems like a pretty good place.  Forget
the colonies, they are always being attacked, hit by plague or revolting
against things.

I'm sure you're right- it's been years since I read it.

I'd like to live with the Kesh in "Always Coming Home". Or maybe one of the future societies in "Woman at the Edge of Time" (though I haven't re-read that in ages).

The 3 ages of 7 years each made more sense that the movie with 4 of 7 1/2 each.


And, i tried to stick to TV shows. Granted a bunch of the based on movies.
