What types of technology already exist that could provide alternatives to heating and cooling that require a closed, 'controllable' environment to function? Any ideas?

Kurt Vonnegut, a favorite author of mine, passed away yesterday at the age of 84. His favorite book of mine being Slaughterhouse-Five. This is a excerpt of his last published words from his poem "Requiem." When the last living thing has died on account of us, how poetical it would be if Earth could say, in a voice floating...

I can't transcribe ideas directly to a computer as well as I would to a physical sheet of paper; but oftentimes when I write by hand the ideas and sentences are all over the place because I pay less attention to mechanics. Regardless, I wrote this blurb earlier (forgive the incoherencies): What "nature" is to me It's vast, isolated,...

My second option would also be intended for a shorter period of time as a recuperating experience. It would primarily be an experience for a single person but it would be in the form of a room.
