[extropy-chat] Silicon Valley pod villages?

[Mike Lorrey]

Wasnt' intent on trolling. Had reread Snow Crash and have been looking
at how far we are to triggering the sort of devolution that would
result in the Snow Crash world. Was figuring that the Japanese bod pod
style hotels should be marketable given the real estate rates in the
Valley these days, and that these sortsa people would be pretty
experienced with spending time in Japan on contracts as well.

Why, was I hitting a nerve?
