Notable Farcasters
- The Grand Concourse
The Grand Concourse was a series of shopping streets on many worlds connected by Farcaster into the appearance of a single street.
- The River Tethys
The River Tethys was gifted to the Hegemony of Man by the TechnoCore. Every planet in the WorldWeb (and some who weren't, as was discovered by Aenea) had a section of a river connected by Farcaster to rivers on other worlds. The Tethys was used for sightseeing and tourism mainly with some trade.
- Martin Silenus' House
Martin Silenus' House was a house that physically resided on multiple worlds of the worldweb, much as the houses of many famous or rich personalities of the Hegemony of Man used to do. It was a huge expense and illustrated his rise to fame and fortune and, eventually his fall back to obscurity. The notable features included windows to most of the best views of the web and a bathroom that consisted of an open raft in the middle of a waterworld.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
