Who Coined the Term Metaverse?
Although the term may seem futuristic to many, the phrase Metaverse was first introduced in the 1992 novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Neal Stephenson is a New York Times Bestselling author, who has entertained readers with his complex and thrilling speculative fiction works. Several years later, in 2011, the term was reimagined by Ernest Cline. In his science fiction novel, Ready Player One, Ernest imagines a dystopian worldwide virtual reality game similar to what the metaverse is believed to be like in reality. Most recently, Facebook has adopted the term Metaverse, renaming their empire of social media networks under the name ‘Meta ’.
