Hover trays weave among the guests, like invisible waiters are carrying drinks. The candles in the sconces do flicker, but they’re powered by a steady source. People would be listening to each other, instead of checking to see who’s watching them.Įven the air here smells filtered and fake. Candles and soft lamps would light the room, and the wooden tables would be made of actual trees. If this were a party at home, the music would draw your eye to human musicians in the corner.
