Hmm... I was myself sort of considering a fiction based upon very late 19th to very early 20th century technologies (think 1890's to 1914); Though if I'm the only one on that bandwagon then I'd be fine with changing to what everyone else wants.

I was also thinking of a way to compromise, if necessary, and also to add onto Wormy's point with a virtual world. Perhaps something like Orion's Arm's Felicidade (link below), where it is a dyson sphere which also runs a virtual "planet" simulation living on the inside of the sphere; Allowing for a world unimaginably gigantic. This would allow for a wider range of technological advancement just through simple geographical isolation. Its certainly not perfect, but its an idea at any rate.
