Cory may joke but I think that’d make a fantastic series. We need an island or patch of land with suitable resources above and below ground, and a… what 25 year plan to move through the stone, bronze and iron ages, then build mechanical computers… how far could you take it in a reasonably short time? Like, less than 50 years?
I’m guessing basic telephony and radio technology wouldn’t be too difficult… on an order of difficulty ranging from crazy to ludicrous. Ludicrously cool.
