So, Facebook finally read “Snow Crash”, I see. The Black Sun comes to life!

  That book also featured crypto-currencies which is of course another thing Facebook is dabbling with. And it had a plot that featured vastly diminished US government marginalized by commercial burbclaves and other corporate entities, which seems to be exactly why governments are anxious to block Libra and worried about companies like FB having valuations exceeding the GDP of most countries. I recently re-read Snow Crash. I love that book. A lot of that stuff looks a lot less like science fiction these days.
