The cybernetic Memory Worlds are combination backup sites and rest stops for the cybernetic intelligences that have become our partners. They rest and relax there, and those of us blessed to be their partners are always welcome. I’ve had as much fun on them as on any resort we’ve built on Earth and beyond. Disney Planet. Universal World. Jurassic World. They’re amazing. They take us to fantastical places no human eye ever saw. But the Memory Worlds are more touching in a lot of ways. They recreate things that were or are right now. Old Paris. Los Angeles. My own International Falls. It says something that we who are stuck in our own bodies want to imagine seeing something out of this world. But they, who can be anything they want from the moment they’re born, most often just want to see and be with us.
