UPDATE:  Solved by Patrick at 12:10 CDT

Wow, I’m so behind in my posts, I think I’m about to catch back up with myself.  Pitiful… pitiful.  I haven’t forgotten, I’ve simply had no time.  Hopefully, things will “free up” later this coming week, and I’ll be able to relocate my rear end with both hands and a GPS.

I had fun with last Saturday’s SciFi riddle (although Rob hopped on it like a starving cheetah after a pot roast – solved it so fast my ears rang), so I thought I’d linger in the world of scientific speculation.  That’s right, sports fans; today’s riddle subject is SciFi, so if you’re ready… it’s ONE for the money, TWO for the show, THREE to get ready, and FOUR to GET YOUR GEEK ON!

Radioactive rain

This is a thing, sort of.

Then again, it’s a place.

Or maybe it’s more of a conspiracy.

Really, what IS it?

It’s a dystopia.

It’s a utopia.

It’s both; it’s neither.

But it’s so bright, you gotta’ wear shades.

This owes a lot to Plato, Descartes, and Zhuangzi.

It also gives a wink to a Star Trek (TOS) third season episode.

It’s the age-old battle of man against machine.

How’s that for a riddle?  You’ll notice a lack of many pictures on this one… let me know if the pictures really help you solve the riddle or not.
