Trader's Den

Between London and New York was a tunnel carved out of the Earth's mantel. It had been built by the market for the market, it gave a distinct advantage to the trader algo's that used it to outcompete their peers on currency, stocks and bonds. Starting off as a single transmission line the demand had been so great, it had now been increased in size to a tunnel a kilometer wide, full of trasmission lines and supporting systems.

In time even this small delay was beaten by another feat of engineering, the Traders Den. Near the centre of the tunnel closest to the earth's core a large cavity had been etched out of the rock and a hub of computational power meshed with minds now resided supported by geothermal energy from the earth's core. Trader's den cut the time in half again for traders and now most northern hemisphere market decisions were made from this one concentration of intelligence. London and New York with their deep pools of computational power within their think tanks now functioned more as its eyes and ears for the decision makers within the earth's core.

The den was off limits, to normal minds and most angels. It had become the central hub of human decision making.
