I once read a scifi story abut a society in which everyone lived in separate houses and never went out or saw anyone else in person; everything was done over picture phones. This was back in the 80s, I think. I thought, wow, that would never happen!

Asimov did this in the 50s in "Caves of Steel". Great book. Prose was "serviceable". But I'm sure he was not the last. Probably not the first.

That's it, dammit; that's the book I was thinking of! Thank you, I was mortified to think I'd forgotten part of Fahrenheit 451.

Actually now that i think of it a sequel to caves of steel set on Solaria.

The Naked Sun!

OMG, I wish people would not encourage me to sleep with co-workers. It's just not in my list of acceptable ways for me to interact.

Please don't let me go back on that. Pretty please.

I'm not the one about to have sex with my coworkers!!

ION, I really wish it would snow here. I hate rain in winter.
