Need to guard against 'metaverse' craze
Visitors are pictured in front of an immersive art installation titled "Machine Hallucinations — Space: Metaverse". Three experts share their views on what these changes and challenges mean to the country with China Daily: The term "metaverse" has been a hot topic of discussion since the summer, and is also among the hottest new words of the year. That's why social media companies decided to create a "new story" and sell it to the capital market. But metaverse is nothing but a term borrowed from Stephenson's sci-fi novel Snow Crash and inspired by cyberpunk works such as Vernon Vinge's True Names and William Gibson's Neuromancer. Apart from the novel Snow Crash, metaverse has also appeared on screen, including as the name of an "oasis" in the 2018 film Ready Player One.
