The Metaverse: Overlord Rings Moving to the Real World

It suddenly occurred to me recently that the concept of the metaverse is actually very similar to the concept of the overlord ring network in "Hyperion".

In Hyperion, people in the Overlord Ring, if they have enough money, can connect the Overlord world to any world in the galaxy. A person can go to a volcanic world to go to the toilet, go to the ocean world to sleep, join the queue in the core world, and then take the girl to the star ring world for the night.

It is an aggregate of worlds that integrates multiple different worlds, like a Riemann leaf in complex space, all gathered at one point.

The metaverse is also a similar concept, except that it does not gather multiple real worlds, multiple real planets, but multiple different virtual worlds and different parts of the real world we live in. Come together to form a multiverse aggregated universe.

To achieve this, of course, first of all, it is necessary to be able to construct multiple different worlds, each with its own characteristics, and not controlled by the same person or organization; it also requires convenient aggregation capabilities, not each The worlds are independent of each other and have little communication; it is even more necessary to have a unified identity and economic system that can be used in multiple worlds.

From this point of view, the concept of the metaverse is indeed imaginative.

However, imagination belongs to imagination, and reality belongs to reality.

Since the development of the Internet, there have been too many PPT projects. The vision and imagination that these projects offer are nothing short of amazing, some even breathtaking, but in the end? All disappeared without a trace after harvesting a wave of leeks.

So, the Metaverse has a lot of exciting stories to tell right now, and obviously a lot of adrenaline-pumping stories to tell, but it remains to be seen how many stories will be translated into reality.

Of course, from a money-making perspective, being able to tell a story is enough. Before the story is broken, the capital has enough time to make money, and after the story is broken, how the metaverse is a matter of the metaverse, the reaper has long since left.

So, do you really care about the metaverse, or do you want to be a reaper?
