lineaarissa

Lineaarissa is a fictional city-state and primary setting in a Finnish-language science fiction series. It is depicted as a large, planned metropolis situated on a maritime archipelago, with a modular urban fabric that blends residential districts, research campuses, and industrial hubs.

The name Lineaarissa derives from lineaarinen, Finnish for linear, reflecting its design philosophy of modular, repeatable districts connected by a dense transit network. The city is connected by an integrated system of canals, bridges, and autonomous transit corridors.

Lineaarissa's history within the series traces the post-crisis era after climate-driven displacement, when engineers and policymakers built the city as a model for scalable urban growth. Governance is described as a constitutional council with technocratic ministries, supported by digital citizen assemblies and transparent data governance.

Economy and infrastructure center on robotics, maritime technology, renewable energy, and logistics. The city relies on offshore wind arrays, tidal turbines, and energy-efficient buildings. Transport emphasizes electromobility and autonomous networks, reducing private car use.

Culturally, Lineaarissa emphasizes public space, education in STEM and arts, and intercultural dialogue. Festivals and museums celebrate scientific progress, ecological resilience, and urban design. The community engages in open-source urban-planning projects and speculative architecture.

In media, Lineaarissa appears across novels and graphic novels within the same universe, where authors and artists explore social questions about governance, resilience, and the ethics of automation. The setting has attracted readers for its detailed world-building and plausible urban tech.
