Though they have given much of their land holdings to the city for parks and the like, the family still owns sizable quantities of Florida real estate, which they bought when Worth Avenue was pure boondocks. But Ceezee and Winston live simply in Palm Beach in a four-room apartment over a converted garage, occasionally entertaining small groups of friends in restaurants.

...Uqbar, Orbis Tertius concerns a mythical planet where people have no conception of material objects. Things have no names; they are described as they appear at the moment.
