There is one book by Lem, one of my favourite which was never translated to English.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation_on_the_Spot
In which he describes a variant of reality where civilisation, engineers a security sphere on reality (called etykosfera - sphere of ethics, with nanobots called Bystry), which prevents beings from hurting them selfs in anyway.
He explores social consequences of such security layer.
Amazing book.

My girlfriend and her friends, did it in Germany too.
You got for free card for public transport, which for Berlin only cost me 80 Euro/month. Also health insurance is somehow cheaper.
I think there is still an age gap, to prohibit people from overusing it.

In Zuerich maybe, I rented 3.5 room apartment in Adliswil for 1.970 CHF last week.
Close to nature, and for me close to office since my company in in Binz.
Moved away from crowded Berlin, no regrets.
