When Carlton entered the conference room the mess was gone. Who had done it and when was a mystery, but someone at some point during the night had given the place a thorough cleaning. Carlton felt out of place. He worked all morning without a break. Right away he checked out the stairs to see if he may be able to find a way to the bottom of the elevator shaft.

Carlton was listening to the radio while he worked, and at that particular time he was in the Municipal Library of Salt City, Utah. Not Salt Lake City, that was an hour's drive away, but Salt City, a fabulous new feat of architectural brilliance. Not long from now but still a ways away the sustainability movement completed its greatest ever achievement: A city-sized municipal infrastructure that was completely self-sufficient for energy, water and food. It was called Salt City, and it was made up of geodesic domes built in the salt flats not far from Salt Lake City, Utah. Each dome was one mile in diameter, towering half a mile into the sky.
