Or Neuromancer. (Any advance on Neuromancer?)
- AndrewDucker 3y agoI think that Neuromancer was about as early as it went, fiction-wise. But VR was about from the 70s (NASA's JPL had one), and the metaverse is basically VR + chatroom. Popularisation certainly happened by the early 80s, which is presumably where Neuromancer got it from.
- layer8 3y agoBurning Chrome precedes Neuromancer by two years and first used "cyberspace" in the sense of a VR-like network.
- twic 3y agoTrue Names, 1981. Which, IMHO, is a far better story than Neuromancer, but also much less stylish, and hence less influential.
