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

What happens
Klondike: The Quest for Gold is a Canadian documentary television series, which aired in 2003 on The History Network. It follows the journey of five modern-day people as they recreate the journey made over 100,000 people during the Klondike Gold Rush. They are supplied with 1897 period-appropriate clothing and gear, and make the journey from Dyea, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon. They are provided with three months of food, mining equipment, and a knockdown boat, all totaling 3000 pounds, carried on their shoulders or in period-appropriate backpacks. It is part of the "Quest" series from producer Jamie Brown, which also included Pioneer Quest: A Year in the Real West (2001), Quest for the Bay (2002), and Quest for the Sea (2004).
