In 1992 when the internet was still something new, American novelist Neal Stephenson described virtual reality: a virtual world, where people would use digital avatars to live, work and play online.  He called it “Metaverse” – a blend of meta meaning Beyond and verse from the Word Universe. Today the tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are racing to claim the Metaverse, a virtual universe that will coexist with the physical one. Facebook has even changed its name to “Meta”.
