The ArcBuilder Universe is an ongoing exercise in world building, creative writing, artwork, and futurism. It was begun in the late 1980's as a collaborative effort between John M. and Margo L. Dollana. It includes science fiction stories and a collection of computer models for rendering in the Celestia 3-D astronomy program.

Overview
From the ArcBuilder Universe title page: From the depths of cosmic history to ten thousand years in the future, there is the ArcBuilder Universe. Created by a civilization lost to time, the ArcWays became the key to creating a true interstellar civilization, allowing instantaneous travel between the stars and maintaining all which truly defines a civilized and cohesive society. ... Yet, perhaps even more frightening than the possibility of encountering those vanished ArcBuilders is the prospect that very few are even aware of, the prospect of encountering that force contained within the ArcWays themselves; that which destroyed the Builders over one hundred thousand years ago.
