At least the WTC was part of Meatspace, No?

Maybe not completely...

From Terence Deacon's controversial "Incomplete Nature- How Mind Emerged from Nature" (where more is always less?)- W.W.Norton & Company, 2012.  Page 394,   'Beyond Cybernetics':

                 Perhaps the first hint that the 2000 year-old mystery of interpretation might be susceptible to a
                 physical explanation rather than remaining forever metaphysical can be attributed to the development
                 of a formal theory of regulation and control, which can rightfully be said to have initiated the information
                 age. This major step forward in defining the relationship between information and its physical consequences
                 was provided by the development of cybernetic theory in the 1950s and 60s. The term cybernetics
                 was coined by its most important theoretician, Norbert Wiener, and comes from the same Greek root
                 as the word "government," referring to steering or controlling. Within cybernetic theory, for the first time
                 it became possible to specify how information (in the Shannonian sense) could have definite physical
                 consequences...

                Maxine: "....Unless you would just like to spit it out?"
                Windust: "We need somebody with fraud-investigating skills to weave it together into some shape we can take upstairs...
                               Oh and by the way," Casual as a sanitation truck. "You've heard of the Civil Hackers School in Moscow?"
                Maxine: "No. uh-uh."
                Windust: "According to some of my colleagues, it was created by the KGB, it's still an arm of Russian Espionage,
                               it's mission statement includes destroying America through cyberwarfare..."
                Maxine: "Excuse me, I thought all that Cold War drama was over. Is it mob allegations, what?"
                Windust: "These days the Russian mob and the government share many interests...."

Left wondering, which government- Russian or American? And why bother flying planes into buildings when you can collapse the whole damn thing from afar- with a laptop and an internet connection?  Buildings, like castles in the air...
