“As we deplete our natural resources, we are left with huge gaping holes in the ground—scars from our open-pit mining exploits. Matthew Fromboluti of Washington University in St. Louis has a plan to heal those scars with an underground skyscraper that fills the hole and creates a self-sustaining community in its place. His proposal, Above Below, is proposed to infill the 900-foot deep and nearly 300-acre wide crater left by the former Lavender Pit Mine outside of Bisbee, Arizona.”
Underground Skyscraper is a Self-Sufficient Desert City Above Below Skyscraper
After Skynet has reached full self-awareness, we’re all going to be living in this…

Will we become mole people in the near future? Too many science fiction dystopias would say yes.

Sim Tower would have been so much more awesome if there had been underground skyscrapers.
