In 1992, Neal Stephenson, the science-fiction author, introduced the term “Metaverse” in his hit novel “Snow Crash.” Now, he has come in partnership with another Crypto OG, Peter Vessenes, to bring his vision to life. Yesterday, they announced the creation of a metaverse-focused blockchain called Lamina1. The CEO of the project will be Vessenes, and Stephenson will serve as chairman.
