Teleportation is very close to being physically infeasible just by definition But we can kind of achieve it by sitting in our houses doing everything online instead of physically going to things Honestly we should just get rid of the "office" part of office jobshttps://twitter.com/cstross/status/1231166941517221888 …

Yeah, in all honesty the biggest reason I'm not a "Trekkie" as such is the easily available teleportation. It exists largely so the 60s show could save on budget, but then Abrams went and retconned it to be essentially infinitely powerful, and it just makes the world dull

I mean Picard is still great, but it's IN SPITE of the setting, not because of it

Asimov did a story about that, "It's Such a Beautiful Day" Because he was on record as being a nerd who never went outside and preferred life in an apartment in a megacity to any kind of nature or exercise So he felt it worthwhile to challenge his own beliefs

It's set in a world where teleportation is cheap and everyone uses it Every building has a "Door" that can take you to any other Door in the world with the right code So all life is lived inside of buildings
