Binged this show with a friend the other day. Canât believe Iâd never heard of it until that day, though its concepts are very familiar to me. Based on a novel from the 1960s but I cant remember the name my friend gave me. Definitely wasnât the same as the shows.
To save folks a wiki click, the synopsis is a man creates a simulated world for 9000 simulated inhabitants and things get weird 
edit: Forgot sometimes the links provide a preview and basically had all that info I failed to recollect right up there XD

Portals could shut down⌠We rebuild the Teleporting node network one by one. Black Holes stay randomâish. Joining others can save time. Nodes could have passwords or a fee for travel.

âIn the wake of the decommissioning of the ARPANET on 28 February 1990, Vinton Cerf wrote the following lamentation, entitled "Requiem of the ARPANETâ:[81]"
It was the first, and being first, was best,
but now we lay it down to ever rest.
Now pause with me a moment, shed some tears.
For auld lang syne, for love, for years and years
of faithful service, duty done, I weep.
Lay down thy packet, now, O friend, and sleep.

This news story certainly likes to echo around ETARC 
I was looking for more punctuation in space last night; found loads of full stops and ellipses but really hoping to find something more substantial like a traditional ASCII emoji or a recipe for stew in morse code.
