地方一直都是重写本。当代事物不断地建立在旧事物的基础上。然而直到最近，这个地方才开始呈现出全新的面貌。数以百万计的地方在网络空间中由数十万作家、制图师和艺术家组成的劳动力代表。本文追溯了虚拟场所的历史和地理。虚拟地球并不是其物理对应物的简单镜子，而是以信息黑洞和丰富描述和细节的中心为特征。虚拟代表的数千万个地点是全球工程项目的一部分，该项目的规模和范围都是前所未有的，并通过当代 Web 2.0 技术实现。所构建的虚拟地球不仅仅是上传到 Web 2.0 网络空间的数字地图、图像和文章的集合；相反，它是一个流动且可塑的替代维度，既影响物理世界，又受物理世界影响。
Places have always been palimpsests. The contemporary is constantly being constructed upon the foundations of the old. Yet only recently has place begun to take on an entirely new dimension. Millions of places are being represented in cyberspace by a labour force of hundreds of thousands of writers, cartographers and artists. This paper traces the history and geography of virtual places. The virtual Earth is not a simple mirror of its physical counterpart, but is instead characterised by both black holes of information and hubs of rich description and detail. The tens of millions of places represented virtually are part of a worldwide engineering project that is unprecedented in scale or scope and made possible by contemporary Web 2.0 technologies. The virtual Earth that has been constructed is more than just a collection of digital maps, images and articles that have been uploaded into Web 2.0 cyberspaces; it is instead a fluid and malleable alternate dimension that both influences and is influenced by the physical world.
