The book you're thinking of is THE WORLD IS ROUND by Tony Rothman,
published by Ballantine/Del Rey about 5-6 years ago, if memory serves.

Another book about articial worlds is ORBITSVILLE, by Bob Shaw, which
is about a Dyson Sphere. A terrible book, though (I read the serial in
GALAXY -- or was it WORLDS OF IF? I'll have to check).
