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.

cmdr ░ nova ⸸ :~$ 🏳️⚧️Today on NovaLandia: "No, Zuckerberg Didn't Create the 'Metaverse'"
Over the last week, or so, or, since Fall 2025, Meta has been in the process of sunsetting their entry into the metaverse on the VR side of things, and cementing it as a mobile-only sort of experience...

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.

Justin D Kruger (he/him)William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, or Charles (Charlie) Stross never predicted this!

Alex KeaneAmid prepping and playing a Cyberpunk Red session with a friend, I've been rereading Snow Crash.
At 77% through, I'm noticing a pattern of a ton of the violence having a sexualization aspect to it with many of the YT chapters having a "should we check his hard drives?" aspect to them. To use a meme, there's a lot of "writer's barely disguised fetish" going on, or at least the appearance of it. Like, "human shark" going for a crotch bite, what?
