The Catana and the Meta Verse, Umalba

John Carmack is a fan of neil stevenson's work. The catana has a huge chunk of the cultural weight that it has because of him, he says. And face book's entire idea is based on this - you can be in vr with friends from around the world and then call someone and see like a video of them in the real world as they're like walking to a concert or whatever. It looks like hideous dog shit right? John carmack: "I think ouwant a sign of where this is actually going" He also talks about how facebook does not have the capacity to make what we've dreamed about.
