Problem is, who is going to produce those pods, and work to maintain those pods? What if one pod fails due to failure or lack of energy?<hr size="1" /></blockquote> First of all, I'm assuming that the production of such pods is technologically feasible. I'm also assuming that each pod sources its energy from cheap/renewable means (either nuclear fusion or solar energy).

Then since there's a demand for the pods, we can assume that there will be many businesses falling over themselves to produce, repair and maintain them.

My perfect world would be using robotics to work as slaves, while assigning humans with 1 robot each to do with it as they like.

Or alternatively total anarchy would be a good idea. Survival of the fittest, or whoever has the bigger gun/bow/spear.

How can people be free or equal under such a system?
