Google Data Havens?
Robb points to some Google patents for off-shore floating data centers. Commenters talk about Gibson references, but nobody’s pointed out the Stephenson connection yet.
Sure, the data haven of Cryptonomicon wasn’t a barge, but many of the issues being discussed (degree of government control, vulnerability to disruption) are explored in the book.
All of this material could make for a great wargame/crisis simulation scenario with global guerrilla teams along with nation state teams and multi-national corporation teams.
