August 20, 2024:

This is so fucking funny.

I read this because of Dan Olson's description of it in his marvelous video "The Future Is A Dead Mall" and I was curious about how the original Metaverse was actually conceptualized.

This strikes me as a very intelligent author said "How can I write the dumbest book possible?" This should not imply that the book is bad! Just like, the Cool Guy mode was turned up to 11 and everything was so awful and gritty and dystopian that it became silly. I laughed out loud. I read introductory paragraphs to my friends. I live-reacted on Snapchat because this story is HILARIOUS and it is played one hundred percent straight. Every character takes themselves soooooo seriously riding around on their little high-tech skateboards through openly racist anarcho-capitalist neighborhoods, spouting barely-comprehensible yet extremely-plausible futuristic skater slang. Masterpiece of hilarity, no notes.

What I will offer a note on, is the weird second half gets wayyy into religious mysticism? Really took me out of it. I didn't care about whatever central mystery the characters were researching. I wanted more big dumb car chases, more "hacker" shit (in this world, "hacker" just refers to... anyone who can code), more pointless Mafia side-quests, more strikingly accurate depictions of today's technology dreamed up all the way back in 1992. In short, I wanted to see more of this world.

Weirdly enough, we didn't even spend a lot of time in The Metaverse™️ for this book being the thing that named the concept. It made it even funnier for me that this story's outside world more closely resembled our real life failed "Metaverses" in that everything was compartmentalized, financialized to the extreme, and governed only by corporations; meanwhile the Original Metaverse was a fantasy of a walkable city with public transportation and no cars. Incredibly insightful social commentary.

I had an absolute blast reading this, and even my friends howled when I read them selected passages in my best Cool Guy voice.

i think its so funny how ali always tries to downplay mustard red & her complete lack of morals. like, oh you know... she's just a nice girl who helps others out.... she's reallly into surveillance and spent some time looking for a pretty rare magazine, because she's super into the history of it, and its so important to make sure we don't forget where we come from. what does the magazine do?

well. it does kill people. but that's really just one page. you can't just destroy it because things got a little too avant garde

You hear a ripple of pings and wave of rustles through the crowd as everyone retrieves their phone. News? Then, it dissolves into silence. When you check yours: an airdropped .png containing "QUIET.", talon-scraped onto a slate.

You turn with the crowd. Herrn Eisen approaches, sweeping across the tarmac.

been thinking a lot about the neon future and what the masters are up to. i picture mr iron absolutely REVELLING (it doesn't show it) in the ability to effectively shout by airdropping words to everyone nearby.

i have ideas for (almost) every master already, but i'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts!

To pull off the heist, an unknown threat actor exploited a previously unknown vulnerability that allowed it to use this interface to upload and execute a malicious Java application. The actor then drained various hot wallets of about 56 BTC, worth roughly $1.5 million. General Bytes patched the vulnerability 15 hours after learning of it, but due to the way cryptocurrencies work, the losses were unrecoverable.

Your near-daily reminder that cryptocurrency is dangerously vulnerable to silly exploits. That 'crypto' is only as strong as its weakest end points, in this case somebody's proprietary ATM software running Java. Wow.
