(this image was 'borrowed' from io9)

Check out this article that came out on io9 a short while ago about living cities.

"Could a billion urbanized human beings help to create a system so agile, it becomes a living mind in its own right?"

Now That's How You Build a Science Fiction Set

If anyone at io9.com is actually worth his or her salt, then they should get a whiff of this...

The image above is only possible due to the incredibly dedicated and hard work of some of the best crew that the fine city of New York could offer. As our build days continue, the set pictures will become more sparse. How can you enjoy a surprise when you've already been behind the scenes? Thankfully, you can trust us to remain excited through and through.

As we wrap our casting, you'll start to see faces appear that will be easily recognizable before long!
