Sorry, Keith, you've completely lost me there.

Surely there's far more scope for storytelling in a world of uploads? 
The much wider range of environments, personalities, and plotlines that 
would be available?

Greg Egan manages a whole novel where more than 90% of the characters 
and action are in an uploaded environment.

What do you mean?
