Once again, I got bored. And when I get bored, I get artistic. So have a picture and some writing:

“When you get to Genaros, the first thing you notice is that it's very dim inside. Normally there's a set of windows at both ends of the colony that will provide light to the interior, but for some reason the builders tinted the windows so they only let in maybe 25% of the light normal windows let through. 'Mirrorshading,' they call it. The result is an interior that's caught in perpetual twilight, like it's always at the brink of dusk. The shortfall of light is made up by sodium vapor streetlamps and neon. Oh lord, the neon. It reminds me of what Vegas might look like if it was sucked into Hell by way of Tokyo.
“The whole damn colony is like that. There isn't a strip of green anywhere in the main cylinder – you have to go to the hydroponics modules at the south pole for that. Everywhere else it's (lovingly hoarded from Earth and laid down) concrete and Rockhounds steel everywhere, trimmed with the gaudiest neon lighting this side of Shinjuku. Every now and then it rains, which is just sprinklers set into the spindle concealed by holographics, the sky 'like a television tuned to a dead channel,' just like Gibson wrote.
“If I were to envision a cyberpunk theme park, I couldn't do any better than Genaros. It's dark, dingy, damp, bright, shiny, full of promise and threat. What I don't understand – what I may never understand – is how people can stand to live there all the time.”
