The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Design of a Decade: 1986–1996 is the first greatest hits album by American singer Janet Jackson. It was released on October 2, 1995, by A&M Records. The album was issued through A&M as Jackson's contract with Virgin Records allotted her the option to leave the label following the release of her fifth studio album Janet (1993). The compilation features 14 of Jackson's singles from her three previous albums—Control (1986), Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989), and Janet—as well as two new tracks, "Runaway" and "Twenty Foreplay". The latter is a mid-tempo ballad with funk elements, which is a play on words with "twenty-four hours" and "foreplay". The release of the collection was accompanied by a same-titled home video release. Design of a Decade: 1986–1996 received positive reviews from music critics, who cited the number of hit singles on the record, but many noted its misleading title as the album's content predominantly spanned a five-year period. It was well received commercially, reaching number three on the US Billboard 200 and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The record also peaked inside the top ten in several countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, and the United Kingdom. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
