From the realm of engineers and venture capitalists, a sci-fi-like image of the future emerges every now and then. The most recent of these is known as “the metaverse.”

It’s either a utopia or a dystopia, depending on who you ask. Some claim it’s overhyped and won’t get off the ground, while others say it’s a foregone conclusion and nothing short of revolutionary. But the most important thing to know is that it has garnered a significant amount of money. And a slew of big firms believes you’ll be inhabiting and using it in the not-too-distant future. It’s not a problem if you’re unaware of this. They’re going to build it regardless.

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, revealed a fresh, ambitious vision for the firm with his workers two months ago. All of the company’s departments, from ad sales to virtual reality, had the “overarching purpose” of “helping bring the metaverse to life.” The multibillion-dollar social media giant would become a “metaverse corporation.”

“The metaverse is, in many respects, the pinnacle of social technology.”

He envisioned a metaverse as a virtual environment in which people might communicate with one another in real-time via digital avatars. Users can play games, buy digital commodities such as real estate, attend school, read the news, meet people, and more in this enormous and immersive one-stop-shop. It is, in some ways, the next generation of the internet. From one perspective, it’s simply a more advanced version of the online environment Second Life, which debuted in 2003. (and is still puttering along). Meanwhile, other businesses have started announcing the arrival of the metaverse. In his 1984 novel Neuromancer, William Gibson presented the concept of a virtual collective “cyberspace,” while Neal Stephenson defined the word in his 1992 novel Snow Crash. Both of these books are dystopian dystopias in which individuals seek sanctuary in virtual realms to escape decaying societies.

Now that internet technology has progressed to the point where we may (perhaps) construct the metaverse in real-time.

“People are beginning to wonder, “What happens if you combine all of these things?” And we’re getting fairly close to the images we see in science fiction books and films.”
