Farcaster (Hyperion Cantos): - In Dan Simmons' *Hyperion Cantos* sci-fi series, a "farcaster" is a teleportation technology allowing instantaneous travel across immense distances, central to the Hegemony of Man's interstellar network, the WorldWeb. The term is a portmanteau of "far" and "caster," implying something that projects or transmits over great distances. The technology, gifted by the TechnoCore (an AI collective), uses singularity globes to bend space-time, connecting planets and even rooms on different worlds. The name evokes the idea of casting or projecting across vast spaces, fitting the protocol's decentralized, far-reaching connectivity. [](https://hyperioncantos.fandom.com/wiki/Farcaster)
