In it, thanks to nanotechnology, every flat (and not flat) surface of buildings are turned into giant screens with built in nanos loud speakers. Now, imagine if you will every building turned into a projector-billboard (and I imagine with the expense of those huge projectors and all the electric juice it takes to run them, it would be inevitable to pay for them). Imagine them turned into AR billboards. That know where you are, and follow you, shouting, as you try to walk past the building. No thanks! But it's probably inevitable. Especially since we've already got flexible OLED screens in the pipe, and flexible,stretchable carbon nanotube loudspeaker fabric, that doesn't distort sound as it's stretched/bent. @Aaron – You’ve presumably read Neal Stephenson’s novel Diamond Age?
