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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A young man named Martin Chuzzlewit sets out to make his own way in the world after a falling-out with his wealthy and eccentric grandfather. Through the people he meets, both kind and selfish, the story shows how greed and hypocrisy play out among a sprawling cast of characters in 19th century England and America.
