It isnt even a cool idea. The city would be completely unusable: Most cities are somewhat circular to minize distances. The line maximes distances. No organic city growth, instead you have an extremely limiting footprint that allows no out ward expansion. Narrow street and high rise buildings sound like an absolut nightmare to me.

And dont get me started on all of the "artificial moon, robot dinosaur, human gene editing" bullshit.
