Unreasonably grandiose Laputa from "summary" of Gulliver's Travels - Literary Touchstone Edition by Jonathan Swift

Laputa is an island in the sky, ruled by a scientific elite, who are obsessed with studying abstract concepts and theories. It is a fantastical place where the people have developed technology far beyond what is possible on Earth, making it seem unreasonably grandiose.
  1. Laputa is an unreasonably grandiose island located in the middle of the Pacific ocean - a floating palace constructed from rare metals and plants found nowhere else on Earth. Its residents are knowledgeable people who have created a magnificent utopia, only accessible by airships or other flying devices.
