In the center of Fedora, that gray stone metropolis, stands a metal building with a crystal globe in every room.
Note
In every globe there is a blue city: the model of another Fedora, one of the forms the city could have taken had it not become what it is today.
In every age someone, looking at Fedora as it was, imagined a way of making it the ideal city; but while he built his miniature model, Fedora was already no longer the same, and what had been its possible future was now only a toy in a glass globe.
Marco Polo tells the Khan that the map of the empire must have room for both the big stone Fedora and the little Fedoras in the globes: not because they are all equally real, but because they are all only assumed. Tap a globe to look at it closely.
