#SciFi Neal Stephenson presented something more subtle in #Snowcrash but the amount of cleverness and prehensility imagined still seems ... out of reach.

Durch das Hören der @browserhistory zum Metaverse suche ich das folgende Hörbuch:
Snow Crash von Neal Stephenson (auf Deutsch)
Laut https://www.buecher-magazin.de/rezensionen/hoerbuecher/thriller-und-krimis/snow-crash müsste es von Detlev Bierstedt gelesen worden sein.

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬Head-mounted #VR hardware will never happen, says #NealStephenson - who coined the term ‘metaverse’
#ScienceFiction author Neal Stephenson, who coined the term “#metaverse” in his 1992 novel #SnowCrash, has argued he and others who believed immersive environments would require head-mounted hardware got it wrong.
‘People don’t like wearing things on their faces and don’t trust those who do’
20 years into the future, devices like #smartphones will still dominate.

Grumpy Old Techie 🕊️I'm tyding my stuff and questions arise e.g.
Why do I have two copies of "Snow Crash"
Why are they next to each other on the shelf? I think I would have noticed when I put them there. It doesn't fit my normal chaotic ways.
I'm definitely getting old.
Anyway the local library or one of the many charity shops nearby will have a copy of "Snow Crash" soon.
