It occurred to me that my idea of an oasis is a pretty simple one that goes back to the basics of living and being surrounded by nature, community, and living off the land. Ideally without the pressures of the modern world and what feels like the trap we have created for ourselves, we are always focused on money and consuming more stuff. 

So I started to explore the idea of a future world where Oasis has become the leading mega power of the world and controls so much of how the world runs. But it also gives people in this dark and gritty world the opportunity to escape to a world they get to choose. With the help of some tech that suddenly is discovered on earth, people for the first time get to choose their world. 

Sign up, fill out a few forms, and enter a portal to your chosen destination with your rules. For now, in this alternative reality, it works but no one really knows how.

This idea felt strong for me and got me questioning a lot about society, the state of the planet, and the human race. 

Why can't we choose what, where, and how we live our lives?
