In the center of the country that Daniel writes about, there is a spectacular building world-renown for its immensity.

The Ace is a building that stands nearly a mile tall. 
It is referenced in both God, Man, and The Machine and The Terrors of Wonder.


The Ace or Axel Industries Central (AIC) Building - the impossible ziggurat of Silverberg. The Ace could be seen from a generous distance, standing nearly a mile high and half as wide.  Like a great, silver, isosceles mountain it often disappeared into the clouds.  On a clear day one could see that as  it culminated towards its apex, the gigantic building narrowed itself progressively, betraying a considerable mesa far atop.


The Axel Industries Central (AIC) Building, or more colloquially known as ‘the Ace,’ could be seen from a generous distance, standing nearly a mile high and half as wide (not including the flying butresses).  The ziggurat of Silverberg...on the day of its completion in 2038, Silverberg announced  its independence.  This great, silver, isosceles mountain often disappears into the clouds.  On a clear day from a respectable distance,  however, one could see that as  it culminated towards its apex, the gigantic building narrowed itself progressively, betraying a considerable mesa at its top.
