Synopsis:
There is not sufficient evidence to suggest that the city of Chronopolis does not exist. On the contrary, myths and manuscripts both reveal that the history of Chronopolis is one of eternity and desire.
Chronopolis tells the story of a gargantuan city lurking in the sky colonised by powerful immortals who have become jaded and bored with eternal life, and thus have decided to manipulate elements of time. They play with atomic particles and electricity, and monotonously construct bizarre and unusual objects to assist in this, including a ball that communicates with higher technology, but in reality they are waiting for the ultimate gift to arrive in their hands.
