"Ready Player One" is a pretty concrete illustration of what a Metaverse is.

It may not be realistic or desirable, but I don't get how someone couldn't possibly wrap their head around what it is.

So I have to watch a 2 hour movie? Can't they explain it in like 1 paragraph?

Well, actually, the movie is based on a book, which is much more than a single paragraph.

There have been books about virtual worlds since the first computer came out. I'm familiar with a good bunch of them. Get off my lawn!

What I'm poking fun at is that i haven't seen a single piece of news explaining Zuck's plan. Did he even have one?
