Of course, when people are so ready to spend money on digital things, it’s no surprise that big companies try to create a universe full of them. But I wish the metaverse was just a virtual market.

In this book, in Stephenson’s metaverse, people can appear however they want, with the exception of the height restriction (people can’t have an avatar taller than they are, so people don’t walk around 1 mile). While inside, the person experiences events from a first person perspective. In the Metaverse, people cannot jump from one place to another, they have to go on foot or by train. Entrances to the Metaverse are made from certain points, people cannot appear suddenly.
