Aug 9, 2016 at 22:47 comment added JDługosz I know. But Egan used it for datacenters hosting upload personalities as a post-human city or colony.

Aug 9, 2016 at 20:52 comment added JDługosz Narrative imparative. Can I make that a good choice for my story?
Aug 9, 2016 at 20:51 comment added Kys My question is more "Why do I care where I'm hosted?" If I can snap my metaphorical fingers and see any view known to cyberspace, why is the actual location of my data important to me?
Aug 9, 2016 at 20:40 comment added JDługosz The “welcome” view is meant to show the real situation.
Aug 9, 2016 at 20:36 comment added Kys I'm confused. What does the actual location of the datacenter have to do with his perceived location in virtual reality? I can admire breathtaking views of Martian landscapes from the comfort of my living room. Why wouldn't the same be true of virtual reality?

Aug 9, 2016 at 17:04 comment added Ranger If investors, contractors, politicians, etc are brought through there as a showcase of what the group/organization who originally founded this had to offer the view honestly could be the reason, as simple as that. My experience in corporate America, every company has a 'front door' that's a glamorous area that they like to bring people of influence through. Some companies make a (much) bigger deal of it than others.
