The Sphere

The Sphere was the result of Project Blossom. It consists of three parts - one is the Dreamtron ... a computer which store and maintains a memory of 1950's America as a kind of virtual time capsule. The Dreamtron is capable of broadcasting this memory to sleepers. Winterland residents refer to this memory state as The Lucid and while the basics of it remain, have also adapted it in many ways. The second is the Fieldtron - which generates the 200 mile radius force field that surrounds Winterland Island. Finally is the Motiontron, a perpetual motion engine which maintains both of the other functions.

The Sphere hovers in the air towards the middle of Winterland Island. Most WI citizens are unaware of it's role in their daily life and consider it largely ornamental.
