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.
How it feels
Three stories show different ways humanity might destroy itself in a high-tech world. A zombie outbreak starts with a corrupted organic apple. A factory robot achieves enlightenment and a monk defends it. An old man orders a package that triggers doomsday while his family tries to stay together.

What happens
Doomsday Book (Korean: 인류멸망보고서; lit. 'Report on the Destruction of Mankind') is a 2012 South Korean science-fiction anthology film directed by Kim Jee-woon and Yim Pil-sung. It tells three unique stories of human self-destruction in the modern high-tech era, while displaying an alternative form of genuine humanity and compassion. A Brave New World is a political satire about a viral zombie outbreak; The Heavenly Creature philosophizes on whether a robot can achieve enlightenment; and in Happy Birthday a dysfunctional family bonds in the midst of an apocalypse. It won the top prize at the 2012 Fantasia Festival. The jury honored it with the Cheval Noir Award for best film for "its intelligence and originality." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
