THE RINGS OF PERSEPHONE  / A NEW SOCIETY / A NEW WAY TO PLAY.....


Persephone is in fact one big automated machine.  It has sensors in all technical belts to track the progress of agriculture, energy gathering, production, distribution and the like.


So if we could start from scratch, what would such a society look like?  Well I've attempted to envision such a future through the design of Persephone.  Persephone is a worldship that'll be constructed in orbit in a hundred years time.  Designed to accommodate 1000 inhabitants, Persephone is comprised of 7 Belts that interlock together to form the worldship's structure.  Each belt represents essential parts of a thriving society (Food, Production, Residential, Power, Recreation, Social and Education).  No society goes without change, and so Persephone has been designed to be malleable allowing for change in future colonies.  Additional Belts can be added, or existing ones repurposed as the values and ideals of future societies change.
