Hey, I'm the one who built this particular challenge!

I had no clue, but thanks for the book lead! It didn't come up directly, but SimCity 2000 and especially SimCity 4 had a huge impact on me growing up / I still spin up SimCity 4 from time to time, so I imagine there's a massive indirect influence haha.

This is exceptionally beautiful. What did you use to build it? Vanilla JS?

This is actually all built in nextjs/react, though the initial sketches of the sim had no visualization and were just running in my terminal using bunjs
