Neal Stephenson Says Video Games Are the Metaverse

Posted by timothy on from the wish-those-games-didn't-bore-me-so-quickly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an interview with Forbes Magazine, Neal Stephenson says the 'Metaverse' he created in his seminal novel Snow Crash missed the point — and that video games like World of Warcraft are the true future of cyberspace." Forbes writer David Ewalt seems taken with Stephenson's new book, REAMDE, which I'm looking forward to getting my hands on.
