Iceland’s Introducing the Icelandverse is a hilarious parody of Zuckerberg’s overly long video announcing the new Meta brand. The “Icelandverse” is described as an “enhanced, actual reality without silly-looking headsets.”
So What?
There’s a link here between the evolution of the metaverse and the race to space. Both offer the opportunity for humanity to untether from the current environmental catastrophe we’re hurtling towards. In one we’re escaping the fireball for a virtual recreation, and the other we’re looking down on the failure that was ‘project Earth’. The Icelandverse is a beautifully humorous reminder that our planet is a wondrous thing we should fight to preserve and protect.
