[He'd love to know the full history of Clarke's universe. Frankly, just the fact that they were living up in space is cool to him, though god forbid he ever expresses an interest in anything. Maybe one day he will take the stick out of his ass and say "Hey I'm a science nerd and think your universe is cool, tell me more about it" (unlikely).
Anyways, fair's fair and he doesn't mind talking about his home, even though he has opinions.]
I run a shithole city that's about thirty years ahead of the rest of the world science-and-technology-wise. Anything you can think of, we're doing research on it.
[That's why he asked. He's got an interest in advanced science and technology, beyond just thinking it's cool. It'd be nice to get a feel for how other universes are faring compared to the place he's responsible for.
He sits back in his chair, sipping his coffee.]
But the main research field Academy City is known for is the creation and development of espers. Those're kids like me, who've gone through the city's Power Curriculum Program, and come out of it with fucked up bodies and brains that can result in psychic powers.
