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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Shark Net is an Australian TV mini-series that was broadcast in 2003. It was based on the book of the same name by Robert Drewe about growing up around the times of Eric Edgar Cooke's crimes. The story spans 14 years when Drewe was in Perth while Cooke committed 20 murders and was brought to trial. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
