Creating the metaverse as merely a skeumorphic copy of the real world seems like such a boring imaginative failure and wasted opportunity. You can form this digital medium in any way you can envision. Why limit it to bars, houses, offices, avatars, and other humdrum aspects of normal life. Instead let's push our creativity to the limit. I'd like to see something completely unreal and unlike anything possible to experience irl, and yet interactive, explorable, and as a result something we can build intuitions about how it works. Imagine if Brett Victor, Shigeru Miyamoto, Steve Jobs, Pablo Picasso, and Stanley Kubrick all went on an acid trip together, and collectively envisioned a virtual reality unbound by any of the forms of the real world, yet with a set of consistent rules learnable via interaction and exploration. I imagine something like that could be enlightening and mind-expanding, and far more interesting and compelling than what Zuck has envisioned thus far. That's the metaverse I'm holding out for.
