Cyberpunk Fantasy Sin.....now you can play out/interact with Fantasies of murder, brothels, etc...and so it goes....inventors of evil things.... Romans 1:30
"MetaVerse Noir" is almost certainly the first and only sci-fi short
The gist is simple.
You click on the first tweet—labeled “START HERE”—and immediately begin reading a thread from the POV of a semi-washed-up detective trying to solve a murder in the metaverse.
There are digital brothels and jazz clubs, sex worker avatars, a mafia known as the 16-Bit Family. To find out what happens, you simply read each thread until the end and then pick which thread you want to jump to next, just like the Choose Your Own Adventure books of old.
The term "metaverse" was originally coined in Neal Stephenson's seminal 1992 cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash. In the book, the Metaverse (always capitalized in Stephenson's fiction) is a shared "imaginary place" that's "made available to the public over the worldwide fiber-optics network" and projected onto virtual reality goggles. In it, developers can "build buildings, parks, signs, as well as things that do not exist in Reality, such as vast hovering overhead light shows, special neighborhoods where the rules of three-dimensional spacetime are ignored, and free-combat zones where people can go to hunt and kill each other."
