Mile High Taxi is filled with Y2K optimism
, it's interesting to see the creative work of those who grew up during this particular period revive that outlook for a new, younger generation.
But Mile High Taxi is different in that it presents a Y2K vision of the future. For some reason, this has always meant metropolises would expand enormously in a vertical direction, with giant screens filled with annoying adverts everywhere, and random, tiny green spaces so we could still have a source of fresh oxygen while fighting any fears of claustrophobia. There was evenafter Microsoft did their take on the future well over a decade ago.
The difficulty with these visions is that they seem to collide with the fiery reality we're facing with climate change, social strife and finite resources. But the real charm of the Y2K era is how positive and optimistic the future still felt, and I still believe utopic images of a potential future can act as excellent sources of inspiration, particularly when it comes to gaming. The best throwback we can have is the return of that era's mindset.
