As I was watching Barbie, I wondered about Barbie Dreamland. It reminds me The Good Place. It seems to be an idyllic setting, but an underlying conflict pushes the residents of Dreamland. It also reminds me Niven’s Inferno, the conflict between the builders and the environmentalists.
Dreamland certainly seems to be another dimension, a ritual is required to exit or leave. Could the residents of this seeming paradise be consigned to a sort of domestic hell?
