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

Racket was an Australian music television show broadcast by the ABC. It aired after 10pm on Saturday nights leading into Rage. It was presented by James Valentine with Toby Creswell, Stephanie Lewis, Joanne Corrigan and Tim Richie. It was aimed at an audience aged from 25 to 39. It was taken of the air after its initial run of 10 episodes. Peter Wilmoth of the Age wrote that it "was too self-consciously cool, had no focus or direction". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
