I'd love a gang of nerds doing the real metaverse, like Gibson showed us.

    All that other stuff comes already, but I do not see it create the metaverse.

    Let's stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it's still not that cool.

    The metaverse is awesome, invented in the book Snowcrash from 1992. Its by Neal Stephenson, not Gibson, my mistake.

    Facebook just stole the name and are making some crap.
