Don't be alarmed by the title. This is comedy, not tragedy.
Neal Stephenson, author of Snow Crash where the term metaverse was first used to describe a shared simulated reality, has tweeted a photo of himself enjoying the Icelandverse.
Author Neal Stephenson has tweeted clarification that he has no involvement in Facebook's Meta rebranding.
