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.

The books discussed were The Triple Challenge by Francis Williams, The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen Time was Away by Alan Ross, and Managers, Men and Morale by Wilfred Brown and Winifred Raphael.
