Follow Neal Stephenson— it's freeComment un informaticien-romancier a-t-il pu inventer le mot « Métavers » dès 1992 ? Dans son célèbre roman Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson a décrit avec une précision chirurgicale les avatars, la monnaie virtuelle, les propriétés numériques et les casques VR. Il avait tout compris de cette architecture numérique 30 ans avant que Meta ne brûle 21 milliards de dollars pour tenter de construire exactement la même chose. Mais Stephenson s'était trompé sur une chose capitale : le Métavers ne serait jamais un refuge pour les déshérités urbains. Loin de l'échappatoire de loisir imaginée pour fuir une réalité trop dure, le métavers s'est d'abord construit comme une gigantesque infrastructure de travail. Au programme de cette enquête : La désillusion grand public : Pourquoi les crypto-monnaies ont échoué à devenir la monnaie stable du métavers et comment le marché des NFTs s'est effondré de 92%. La naissance des jumeaux numériques : Le vrai métavers s'est construit dans les usines, les villes et les hôpitaux à travers des copies numériques 1:1 d'infrastructures physiques. Le nouvel avatar de travail : Ce ne sont pas les citoyens en quête de divertissement qui peuplent ce monde, mais des ingénieurs de chez BMW, Porsche ou Bosch qui portent des casques VR pendant 8 heures d'affilée pour réparer ou optimiser des machines. Une économie invisible et colossale : Un marché industriel de la simulation estimé à 3,2 trillions de dollars en 2026, générant de réels retours économiques à l'opposé des pertes du métavers de divertissement. Stephenson a prédit l'architecture du futur avec 34 ans d'avance, mais le futur a tout simplement choisi une route différente pour y arriver.

Neal Stephenson—legendary sci-fi author who coined "metaverse" in his 1992 novel Snow Crash —and Rebecca Barkin, co-founder of Lamina1 , return to the AI XR Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about building a decentralized creator economy, launching their dystopian AI world-building project Artifact , and why blockchain might finally free creators from Big Tech's chokehold. Joined by Charlie, Ted, and Rony, the discussion spans Neal's lost Magic Leap project, the resurrection of the open metaverse dream, and how decentralized platforms could flip Hollywood's power structure on its head. Rebecca details Lamina1's journey from blockchain currency for the open metaverse to Spaces , a multimedia creator platform built on Ethereum that allows IP owners to retain control, set royalties, and build direct relationships with fans. Think YouTube meets Discord, but on decentralized rails. The goal isn't socialism—it's a creative meritocracy where artists get equity in platforms they help build, instead of just one-time payouts while Netflix captures all the value. Neal unpacks Artifact , Lamina1's first creative test case: a post-Singularity world where 12 competing mega-AIs fight over energy, copper, water, and GPUs while humans live in the interstices. Co-created with Weta Workshop using AI tools like World Labs' marble splats, the project invites fans to co-create lore, not just consume it. It's a living experiment in collaborative IP development—and proof that small teams with AI amplifiers can build Grand Theft Auto-scale worlds. Guest Highlights Neal Stephenson coined "metaverse" in Snow Crash ; former Magic Leap creative lead with lost IP still trapped at the company. Rebecca Barkin pivoted Lamina1 from metaverse currency to Spaces : a decentralized platform for multimedia creators retaining IP rights and earning equity. Artifact launches as Lamina1's test case—collaborative world-building in a dystopian post-AI Singularity where fans shape the narrative. Built on Ethereum with Consensus Network backing; uses blockchain to solve micro-transaction volatility and give creators sustainable economics. Signed Bob's Burgers team (Ghosted Media) and other Hollywood refugees seeking autonomy from studio gatekeepers. News Highlights Valve launches PC cube + wireless Index headset —sub-$1000 system to compete with Xbox/PlayStation and revive PCVR market, but will enthusiasts bite? Meta adds real-time computer vision to AI glasses —Ray-Ban smart glasses gain live AI interpretation, pushing toward inflection point for wearables. Google Maps integrates Gemini AI —natural language directions and real-world context awareness transform navigation into conversational copilot. 11 Labs launches voice marketplace —Michael Caine licenses voice cloning; Matthew McConaughey invests but won't sell his own likeness. Disney announces AI user-generated content strategy —Bob Iger teases platforms for fans to create with Disney IP, following Lego's remix culture playbook. Big thanks to our sponsor Zappar .

Cryptonomicon er et vendepunkt i Neal Stephensons forfatterskab. Her forlader han den postmoderne cyberpunk , der kendetegner halvfemserhovedværkerne Snow Crash og The Diamond Age . Nu startede en periode med lange komplekse historiske romaner. Han skriver stadig umiskendeligt Nealsk, men i Cryptonomicon er emnet historisk og kontemporær kryptografi, tilsat konspirationer og en kæmpe guldskat. Peak Internet Hype Cryptonomicon udkom i 1999 i en tid, hvor internethypen peakede. Startups kunne hente risikovillige investorpenge i spandevis. Hvis du var i branchen led du konstant af FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. Google var lige blevet lanceret året før i 1998 og var stadig reklamefri. Årets store hype var peer-to-peer tjenesten Napster, hvor brugere kunne dele mp3-musik med hinanden. Optimismen var enorm og ingen vidste endnu, at dot-com boblen ville kollapse i marts 2000. Det var med andre ord en helt anden tid. Neal Stephenson rammer tidsånden lige i røven med Cryptonomicon . Vores helte er nørder! Primært hackeren Randy Waterhouse, der med sin kompagnon Avi laver internet startups. Randy inddeler mennesker i efter Tolkiens racer. Selv er han en dværg: Grundig, metodisk, jordbunden og med overlegne tekniske evner. Avi er et menneske med stærke elver-agtige træk. Sammen starter de Epiphyte, der trækker undersøiske internetkabler ind i Filippinerne, bygger en data-vault og starter en internet cryptovaluta. Og så får de færten af en guldskat fra anden verdenskrig. Ultra mega programmet Den anden halvdel af Cryptonomicon foregår under anden verdenkrig, hvor vi følger Randys bedstefar Lawrence Waterhouse. Lawrence er et verdensfjernt matematikgeni – en elver ifølge Randy. Ved et tilfælde bliver Lawrences evner ud i kryptografi opdaget. Han bliver optaget i det såkaldte Ultra Mega program – en fiktiv overbygning til det historiske kodebrydningsprojekt Ultra. Her arbejder han på at skjule for Aksemagterne, at Enigma og Indigo er blevet brudt. I en kompleks historie med en udødelig hollænder og en morfinafhængig US Marine får Lawrence opsnuset en mægtig guldskat af røvet naziguld. Bogen hopper frem og tilbage mellem 1999 og anden verdenskrig. Stephenson bruger usandsynlige personsammenfald til at knytte fortid og nutid sammen. Det er en kæmpe mursten. Lydbogen er 40 sider, men Stephenson formår at få det hele til at hænge sammen og holde læseren fanget hele vejen. Jens og Anders har SCIFI Snakket “Cryptonomicon” Shownotes til Cryptonomicon @Anders gik straks igang med at læse bog 2 og 3 i Take Them to the Stars-serien . Fik også taget sig sammen til at hente playlisten til bog 3 (alle kapitel-titlerne er sangtitler. Det fik vi slet ikke nævnt i sidste Snak…) @Anders har også lige kastet sig over Lightless af C. A. Higgins , som dog nok umiddelbart er i den lette (men actionfyldte) ende. Foreløbig ved jeg bare, at vores hovedperson og hendes to kolleger på et meget stort rumskib, der er blevet bordet af en slags rumspioner (eller måske terrorister?) @Anders Også ved at parallel-læse Max Tegmarks Life 3.0 , som egentlig er en fagbog om AI, men også indeholder elementer af fremtidsscenarier og fiktion… @Anders Og endelig har jeg lige – nok opmuntret af erfaringer med Sylvain Neuvel-serie – købt Children of God – Maria Doria Russells efterfølger til The Sparrow .

When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidently meets military intelligence operator Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather large sum of money. Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They prove that magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time of the Great Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palaceâ€â€the world’s fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology and commerce. Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it’s up to Tristan to find out why. And so the Department of Diachronic Operationsâ€â€D.O.D.O. â€â€gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic back, and send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive . . . and meddle with a little history at the same time. But while Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook the mercurialâ€â€and treacherousâ€â€nature of the human heart. Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize all of Neal Stephenson’s work and steeped with the down-to-earth warmth and humor of Nicole Galland’s storytelling style, this exciting and vividly realized work of science fiction will make you believe in the impossible, and take you to placesâ€â€and timesâ€â€beyond imagining.

Im Rahmen der “Lob und Verriss” Sommerpause die Rezension eines Buches aus dem Jahr 2015. Ein wirklicher Urlaubsschmöker mit Tiefgang, und natürlich wusste Neal Stephenson mal wieder viel mehr über unsere Zukunft als alle anderen. Holy f*****g s**t, Neal. Neal, Neal, Neal Neal, Neal.. Was machst Du hier mit uns? Neal Stephenson hat einen Roman geschrieben, der unendlich deprimierend ist. Und genauso grenzenlos empfehlbar. Es ist seit langem ein Roman, bei dem man 200 Seiten im Buch nicht das Ende ahnt. Es kommt alles ganz anders. Ganz anders. Deshalb hier mit einem Katzenbild von der Rezension getrennt die Bitte an alle, die Starke Nerven und ein positives Gemüt haben, sofort abzuschalten und sich Neal Stephensons unaussprechlich betitelten Roman “ Seveneves ”, auf Deutsch “ Amalthea ” zu holen und wiederzukommen, nachdem die letzte Seite gelesen ist. Ich verspreche beim heiligen Douglas Adams, dass niemand enttäuscht sein wird. Das Buch ist noch nicht übersetzt, aber der Schwierigkeitsgrad is mässig und man vermeidet bei sofortigem Lesen den unvermeidlichen Spoiler, den ein gedankenloser Verleger durch den Deutschen Titel verbrechen wird (was sich überraschend nicht bewahrheitet hat, Respekt!) . Neal Stephenson heißt der Autor, “Seveneves” das Buch. und … an alle Fragilen, Daheimgebliebenen, zur Depression neigenden Leser kann ich ohne Angst vorm Spoiler von einem ganz unglaublichen Buch berichten. Ort der Handlung: Die Erde. Zeit der Handlung: Jetzt. Szene: Nacht. Ein Arbeiter genießt seinen Feierabend, schaut in den Sternenhimmel von Alaska. Szene: Nacht. Rio. Menschen amüsieren sich. Szene: Nacht. Eine Party in LA. Kamerafahrt: Blick zum Mond. Action. In einer Sommernacht Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts verschwindet der Mond. Genauer, ein “Agent”, im Sinne von “eine nicht erklärbare Ursache”, “irgendeine Kraft” spaltet den Mond in 7 Teile. 300 Millionen Tweets während eines Super Bowls sind ein Scheißdreck. Jeder kann es sehen und jeder ist starr vor Schreck und Faszination. Wo gerade eben noch ein Mond war, sind jetzt, etwas größer in der Fläche, sieben verschieden große Mondteile, nicht weit voneinander entfernt, umgeben von einer Halo Mondstaub. Faszinierend. Während der Bürger noch am tweeten ist, der Politiker fragt, wer dran Schuld hat, machen sich Wissenschaftler Gedanken um die Auswirkungen. Bleiben die Gezeiten aus? Die Erde stehen? Keine Sorge, Stephenson erklärt uns kurz das Ding mit Newton, Gravitation. Der Mond ist nur gespalten, nicht verschwunden, solange die Masse halbwegs an einem Platz bleibt, sind die Gravitationskräfte, die auf die Erde und damit die Meere einwirken, die gleichen. Puh. Faszinierend. Problem: Der Mensch. Er hört nur, was er hören will. Das Entscheidende am soeben gehörten Satz war nicht, dass die Gravitationskräfte, die auf die Erde wirken, dieselben bleiben werden. Das Entscheidende war das einschränkende Konditional: Solange die Masse des Mondes halbwegs an ihrem Platz bleibt. Nunja, wo soll der Mond hin, die Gravitationskräfte der Erde wirken auch auf den Mond zurück. Dass sich da sublim etwas verändert über einen kosmischen Zeitraum, sicher, aber kurzfristig sollten die Veränderungen klein sein, schreiben wir den Gezeitenplan halt um. Ein paar Nächte später beobachtet Astrophysiker Dr. Harris, TV-Celebrity und Physikerklärer irgendwo zwischen Bill Nye und Neil DeGrass Tyson dass aus den sieben um die Erde und sich selbst kreisenden Mondteilen durch Zusammenprall zweier derer acht geworden sind. Kurze Zeit später 10, kurze Zeit später 14… Faszinierend. Problem: Entropie. Dr. Harris erklärt: Das Universum neigt zum Chaos, zum

Mark Zuckerberg wants to build the metaverse. Neal Stephenson created the meta verse three decades ago. The author’s 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash popularized the use of the term “avatar” in a digital context, inspired the makers of Google Earth, and, of course, imagined (and named) the dystopian metaverse that Silicon Valley is racing to make a reality. Stephenson has also tried his hand at actual science - helping Jeff Bezos build his private rocket ship business, and later working with Magic Leap at its fizzled AR goggles attempt. Now he’s trying his hand at the blockchain and says he’s not dissuaded by last year’s crypto crash. And if you act right now, you can bid on some of his real and digital goods at a Sotheby’s auction. Stephenson talks to Recode’s Peter Kafka about all of that, plus his failed (so far) attempts to turn his work into TV shows or movies, the future of VR, and why his vision of cautious optimism involves calamitous climate disasters.
