let's go, perhaps everyone heard the Meta Universe today;

00:00:08

perhaps years will pass

00:00:11

before it is created, but

00:00:16

they have been thinking about what the common virtual space will become for a long time;

00:00:19

the metaverse will be the next step in

00:00:22

uniting the physical world with the

00:00:24

virtual. Augmented reality and all

00:00:26

available digital worlds will become its

00:00:29

parts; an unlimited number of

00:00:31

users will be able to replace real

00:00:34

life with Digital and join the economy of the

00:00:37

Meta Universe thanks to social

00:00:40

networks. We can at any time communicate

00:00:42

with a person hundreds of

00:00:44

kilometers away from us to find out what is

00:00:46

happening in his life, the creators of the

00:00:49

Metaverse are going further. They plan to

00:00:51

achieve a feeling of presence in another

00:00:54

place in the future. you will be able to sit

00:00:57

as a hologram on Mom Diva or I

00:01:00

will sit on yours and it

00:01:02

will really feel like we are in the

00:01:05

same room, this is a forecast made by

00:01:08

Mark Zuckerberg in 2021 and If anyone

00:01:12

else hopes to improve their social skills

00:01:14

in reality, then you should hurry In a

00:01:17

few years, there will obviously be no time for this,

00:01:20

virtual concert halls,

00:01:23

discotheque stores and cinemas are waiting for their

00:01:26

opening, and those who will spend days

00:01:29

wandering aimlessly around the bright digital

00:01:31

world without leaving their home Oh

00:01:35

yes Well, where would we be without games that will be released

00:01:39

in a fundamentally new way?

00:01:43

level designers and developers

00:01:46

will create millions of new digital

00:01:49

spaces studying without leaving home and

00:01:51

remotely without losing the effect of presence

00:01:54

virtual classes filled with digital

00:01:57

doubles of students and virtual offices

00:02:00

for holding personal meetings this is how

00:02:02

the future is seen by those who are

00:02:05

designing the metaverse today

00:02:07

It is impossible to implement everything planned yet, but

00:02:10

work is being done the creation of a metaverse is already

00:02:12

underway and given the speed of development of

00:02:15

computer technology, its appearance

00:02:18

is quite

00:02:19

foreseeable; science fiction writers have been thinking about

00:02:22

similar phenomena for several

00:02:24

decades in a row already in the thirties of the

00:02:27

20th century they thought that

00:02:30

changing the perception of reality could

00:02:33

lead to dangerous consequences in

00:02:35

1935 by Stanley Weinbaum

00:02:39

she described the device of the

00:02:48

submersible

00:02:51

Stanislav Lem philosophical

00:02:53

futurological sums of technologies

00:02:56

asks the question of how to create a

00:02:58

reality that for intelligent

00:03:01

beings living in it

00:03:03

would be no different from normal

00:03:05

reality but would obey a

00:03:07

different law in the same decade

00:03:10

Ivan Sutherland described the concept of a helmet that

00:03:13

became the basis for modern

00:03:16

virtual reality devices the helmet

00:03:18

made it possible to view images

00:03:20

generated using a computer,

00:03:23

while the image changed

00:03:25

according to the movement of the head of Rome

00:03:28

togo

00:03:30

tul reality its modern meaning

00:03:34

the term metaverse was invented much later by the

00:03:37

science fiction writer Neal

00:03:39

Stephenson in the novel Avalanche published

00:03:42

in 1992, he described in quite detail the

00:03:46

principles on which the constantly

00:03:48

operating virtual space Neal

00:03:52

Stevenson is one of the main science fiction writers

00:03:54

of our time and the release of each of his

00:03:56

works is considered by fans of the genre to be

00:04:00

one at the beginning about the writer, few people

00:04:03

knew the avalanche is not his first novel.

00:04:05

He began writing the novel in the Eighties, but the publication of

00:04:08

this work was a breakthrough

00:04:11

Stevenson was called one of the leaders of

00:04:13

science fiction ideological heir to the

00:04:16

fathers of the founders of cyberpunk William

00:04:18

Gibson and Bruce Sterling, only a couple of years have

00:04:22

passed since the

00:04:24

first connection to the Internet via a

00:04:26

telephone

00:04:28

line was recorded imagined what all this could

00:04:31

lead to Pygmalion glasses from the story of

00:04:34

Stanley Weinbaum over 60 years of development of

00:04:37

the genre have turned into chrome-plated Google

00:04:59

home a street with a length of

00:05:02

65.536 km, covering the

00:05:05

black sphere of the virtual world along the equator, a

00:05:08

built-up part of the metaverse - This is

00:05:10

several hundred kilometers there are

00:05:12

rows of skyscrapers illuminated by

00:05:15

neon light signs, a

00:05:17

street shining with dazzling lights like

00:05:20

Las Vegas contrasts favorably with the eternal

00:05:23

night of the

00:05:26

digital metaverse Megapolis naen

00:05:30

is the most powerful and influential people on

00:05:33

Earth are those who can buy a

00:05:35

computer powerful enough to maintain

00:05:37

street protocol, life in the metaverse is

00:05:40

in many ways reminiscent of reality, but here

00:05:43

a person can create something that does

00:05:45

not exist in reality, for example, Special

00:05:48

neighborhoods where the rules of the

00:05:50

three-dimensional space-time

00:05:54

continuum do not apply, audiovisual ones, the

00:05:58

embodiment of the universes Stevenson called

00:06:01

avatars, the term Avatar and avatar

00:06:04

are now used everywhere. However, in the

00:06:07

early nineties the situation was different, for

00:06:10

some time the writer was sure

00:06:12

that no one had used this word before him.

00:06:14

After the first

00:06:17

publication of the avalanche, he learned that the term

00:06:20

Avatar has been used in the system for several years

00:06:22

virtual reality

00:06:24

called habitat,

00:06:26

despite the ability to accept,

00:06:30

thereby hiding the true appearance of the

00:06:32

origin of a person’s Avatar, much

00:06:35

could be understood about its owners; hackers,

00:06:38

for example, did not use too flashy

00:06:41

Avatars and valued realistic

00:06:43

facial displays; after all, only a talented

00:06:46

designer was able to recreate the

00:06:48

smallest details in the display of the

00:06:51

user’s emotions such an Avatar was made to

00:06:54

order and not everyone could afford it;

00:06:58

someone had

00:07:00

ready-made models with a narrow range of

00:07:02

facial expressions to demonstrate emotions, while

00:07:05

others purchased a designer set of

00:07:07

avatars and assembled their own model from various blocks; the

00:07:11

appearance of the Avatar also depended

00:07:14

on the capabilities of the computer. Strikingly

00:07:17

beautiful women

00:07:20

crawls out on se2 frames for a second, as if

00:07:24

they suddenly became a

00:07:26

three-dimensional battle, these are actresses waiting to be

00:07:30

noticed by crazy abstractions Tornadoes are

00:07:37

twisting establishments who will notice their talent

00:07:40

will call them to give them a job, an

00:07:43

abundant scattering of black and white personalities -

00:07:46

these are those who enter the metaverse from a

00:07:49

cheap public terminal and

00:07:51

therefore displayed

00:07:56

twitches everything performed mons

00:08:00

special programs having their own

00:08:02

avatars Stevenson compares them with the spirits

00:08:06

living in the machine today similar to the

00:08:09

concept of the metaverse in a

00:08:11

science fiction novel Few people

00:08:14

can be surprised, but it is worth remembering

00:08:16

when the work from the

00:08:19

avalanche with its

00:08:21

metaverse and the udib town from the labyrinth was written

00:08:24

reflections of the Lukyans and the Matri brothers ChVS and

00:08:27

many other

00:08:29

works we will be able to According to our estimates,

00:08:32

selling up to

00:08:34

80% of the player’s individual field of view will

00:08:37

no longer be possible convulsions already in the

00:08:39

early nineties Stevenson foresaw the

00:08:42

maximum commercialization of

00:08:44

virtual space information

00:08:46

goods and you can sell and buy not

00:08:49

only some then important data that can

00:08:52

affect a person’s real life, but also

00:08:54

gigabytes It would seem that they have no

00:08:57

practical use, everything is like in the real

00:09:00

world today there is nothing fantastic

00:09:03

in paid Avatars or the sale of various

00:09:06

advantages in computer games, many

00:09:09

see in this an opportunity for

00:09:10

self-expression that they are deprived of in

00:09:13

reality the choice of an Avatar in the metaverse,

00:09:16

customization of his appearance, freedom from

00:09:18

many restrictions, the opportunity to do

00:09:21

business and meet interesting

00:09:23

people, all this turned the street into a fashionable,

00:09:26

crowded place that brings with it a

00:09:29

large number of these factors can be declared the

00:09:32

culprits for the popularity of the real

00:09:35

Internet, but not all of Stevenson’s predictions

00:09:38

came true; his metaverse is a place

00:09:41

pastimes of

00:09:47

the successful are

00:09:49

scorching while the rich hang out in the

00:09:52

metaverse of the VM The

00:09:58

virtual world often replaces

00:10:01

reality precisely for those who

00:10:04

cannot boast of large

00:10:06

incomes What is reality in an avalanche

00:10:10

Despite the fact that in the early nineties

00:10:12

a science fiction writer described the near future, the

00:10:14

world he made up has undergone significant

00:10:17

changes dominant Political

00:10:19

ideology in the world of the novel is such an

00:10:22

illusory anarcho-capitalism when, with the

00:10:25

seeming independence of cities and

00:10:26

companies, they all form a huge

00:10:29

commercial network built according to

00:10:32

certain standards, unlike the

00:10:34

same William Gibson to romanticize

00:10:37

on the principle of high-tech Low Life Stevenson is

00:10:41

no longer a supporter of poetic descriptions on the

00:10:43

first pages, he sets an absurd,

00:10:46

malicious and hooligan tone of the narrative,

00:10:49

creating often surreal images that are

00:10:52

simultaneously reminiscent of Robert

00:10:54

Long’s film Johnny Mnemonic and Terry Guilliman’s film,

00:11:00

the collapse of the United States as a world hegemon, which

00:11:03

conspiracy theorists of all stripes have been talking about for so long

00:11:05

and for which

00:11:07

their listeners, surrounded by enemies, are finally waiting for more than salaries.

00:11:09

-that took place However, the

00:11:13

rest of the world was also expecting a significant

00:11:15

Perestroika Stevenson mentions the

00:11:18

transfer of production to Third

00:11:20

World Countries and the reduction in the cost of freight transportation and the

00:11:22

fall in the influence of resource suppliers and the

00:11:25

redistribution of income and

00:11:27

hyperinflation of the

00:11:29

state in the usual sense for us

00:11:31

still retained some

00:11:33

influence, but in accordance with According to the testament of

00:11:36

anarcho-capitalism, the world consisted of

00:11:38

independent cities, housing elite

00:11:41

communes or housing estates, as well as Franchises of

00:11:44

organized quasi-national

00:11:47

states, power in such settlements

00:11:50

belonged, for example, to the Mafia, which became a

00:11:53

completely legal organization

00:11:55

to monopolize the

00:11:59

delivery of pizza, all the main

00:12:01

state structures were

00:12:20

commercialization,

00:12:22

the independence of cities will find its application, of course,

00:12:25

a formality and the place of the state halls of the

00:12:29

state organization creating a

00:12:31

new world order, the action of the novel

00:12:34

takes place in the USA and Stevenson first of

00:12:37

all mentions America’s loss of

00:12:39

itself, but it is clear that

00:12:42

similar processes are taking place in other countries;

00:12:48

only those who have never been to

00:12:50

others in fact could consider their city original and distinctive the whole planet

00:12:52

was built up with standard housing

00:12:55

complexes with identical repeating blocks,

00:13:00

no surprises, that’s the motto of the

00:13:03

Ghetto Franchise, Stevenson writes, and the writer calls the concrete boxes

00:13:07

built according to identical computer

00:13:09

projects farm houses

00:13:12

that became means of self-expression of a

00:13:14

culture that has nothing to express, the illusion

00:13:18

of originality covered and a metaverse

00:13:21

where everyone could create an original

00:13:24

Avatar for themselves but the majority used

00:13:27

a number of popular models Stevenson does not

00:13:31

skimp on detailed descriptions of the characters

00:13:33

who sometimes interrupt the malice and

00:13:36

sudden seriousness, while it remains

00:13:39

a mystery what events preceded

00:13:42

such a reorganization of the world. We can

00:13:45

only assume that everything described

00:13:48

is a logical continuation of what we

00:13:50

have now and in opinion Stevenson in the

00:13:53

early nineties, sooner or later

00:13:55

humanity will reach such a life, it is worth

00:13:59

noting that the writer is far from alone in

00:14:01

such a vision of the future and if,

00:14:04

regardless of the degree of seriousness of the approach, he

00:14:07

made his forecast three decades ago,

00:14:10

then today such predictions can be

00:14:13

heard from the lips of people who shape ours

00:14:17

present, one of the recently conducted

00:14:20

studies presents the main

00:14:22

trends in the development of society that

00:14:24

will determine the shape of the world by

00:14:27

2035

00:14:29

and Although the presentation that appeared online was

00:14:31

immediately labeled a fake, each of its

00:14:34

points is quite justified and the entire

00:14:36

document as a whole is an

00:14:39

interesting interpretation of the future, among

00:14:42

other forecasts in which the near future

00:14:44

the future is as close as possible to

00:14:46

what the authors of cyberpunk wrote about, there is a point

00:14:49

about the further development of urban

00:14:51

agglomerations and the strengthening of their isolation;

00:14:54

agglomerations with their own orders

00:14:57

will become a key unit and the share of the

00:15:00

urban population will increase to

00:15:03

80% Well, in addition,

00:15:06

digital totalitarianism awaits us; a fundamental

00:15:08

change in the education system with the

00:15:10

transformation of universities into appendages of

00:15:13

large corporations, strengthening

00:15:14

gerontocracy, competition with

00:15:17

artificial intelligence for

00:15:19

jobs, as well as an increase in the number of

00:15:21

depressions and mental disorders

00:15:24

due to loneliness and isolation in the

00:15:27

virtual world, was it worth waiting for the

00:15:29

twenties of the XXI century to

00:15:32

retell what

00:15:35

Stevenson wrote about? at the end of the 20th century, the heroes of the avalanche

00:15:39

are those same loners of whom a

00:15:42

significant proportion of the total

00:15:44

population of the urban agglomerations of the future

00:15:47

in the avalanche will consist, and the real world and the metaverse

00:15:50

resemble a huge microcircuit consisting

00:15:53

of standard elements and filled with

00:15:56

lonely demons created for a

00:15:58

specific purpose in the world invented by the

00:16:01

programmer Stevenson Co. the

00:16:03

laws of programming are applicable to everything, including humans,

00:16:06

humanism, personal development,

00:16:08

humanity united by a common

00:16:11

goal, no You were wrong again in the future in an

00:16:14

avalanche, everyone is constantly risking their

00:16:17

position, their earnings or even their lives, the

00:16:20

heroes are not up to great achievements,

00:16:23

the protagonists, barely making

00:16:25

ends meet, are opposed to much more

00:16:27

influential people, one of they dream of

00:16:30

dropping an atomic bomb on America and

00:16:32

someone wants to gain complete control

00:16:35

over people. The rest are trying to

00:16:38

preserve what they have. You shouldn’t expect

00:16:41

depth from the heroes of the avalanche; characters from

00:16:43

classical literature are all

00:16:45

drawn with a few strokes and in

00:16:47

depth of elaboration are closer to the heroes

00:16:49

of comic books or computer games these are

00:16:52

functions that lead the reader through the plot and

00:16:55

tell about the ideas that came into the

00:16:58

author’s head, someone will die,

00:17:01

someone’s difficult Fate will be revealed, but everything will happen

00:17:04

without unnecessary drama, you

00:17:07

definitely won’t cry over the book, and in order to simply

00:17:09

empathize with someone you need to have a very

00:17:12

good imagination then you will be able to

00:17:15

think out a lot for the author Stevenson does not even

00:17:18

try to fashion something three-dimensional from his characters

00:17:20

and his attitude towards them is

00:17:23

best indicated by the names

00:17:26

of the characters the protagonist of the hundred in

00:17:29

Cosanostra pizza he should under no circumstances

00:17:32

delay the order because in case of the

00:17:34

slightest delay of the delivery person

00:17:38

the head of Cosanostra Irpo Uncle Enzo flies to the customer, whoever he is, to

00:17:42

make a personal apology. Do I need to

00:17:45

explain that Uncle Enzo does not like

00:17:47

to apologize and the delivery man constantly risks his

00:17:50

life Bringing four cheeses to the neighboring Zhekro is

00:17:55

far from the last person in

00:17:57

the metaverse,

00:17:58

one of the founding fathers, if possible so

00:18:00

to speak, but he missed the chance for a

00:18:03

comfortable life and in reality Hero

00:18:05

lives together with a

00:18:08

megaladon called a slab as a floor and

00:18:11

walls made of corrugated steel, here his

00:18:13

own rolling up steel

00:18:16

door is a sign of luxury, in principle, this

00:18:19

suits him because his real life

00:18:22

takes place in the metaverse where he is a

00:18:25

warrior prince and the best Swordsman in the world

00:18:36

Yves Courier from a radical courier

00:18:38

service without his own transport for

00:18:41

being late, it may not be dissolved

00:18:43

in acid, but it risks no less than

00:18:46

chro delivery performed by such couriers is a

00:18:49

real art, because you need to

00:18:52

attach yourself to passing transport in time,

00:18:54

literally burst it with the help powerful on a

00:18:58

strong cable And what is equally important is to

00:19:01

unhook from him in time and he and she are

00:19:05

very talented guys who are

00:19:07

creative in everything but have chosen

00:19:09

activities that do not require special socialization

00:19:13

the main villain does not shine with originality, it

00:19:16

is worth talking about his goals But I

00:19:18

will do this a little later and here’s more one

00:19:21

antagonist turned out to be quite colorful, an

00:19:24

Alid named Raven, armed with

00:19:26

glass knives and Meth, throwing spears,

00:19:29

rides a motorcycle with a sidecar in which

00:19:32

there is an atomic bomb, it will explode if the

00:19:35

Raven dies in the film adaptation of Raven's Avalanche, he

00:19:39

could play Danny Trejo if he were

00:19:42

50 years younger,

00:19:46

uninteresting, look for someone else, but if the

00:19:49

avalanche was based only on the idea of

00:19:51

the metaverse and caustic evil humor in

00:19:53

describing the world of the future, then the novel

00:19:56

would not have made so much noise in the early

00:19:58

nineties, the avalanche mentions the times

00:20:01

when people just began to separate good

00:20:04

and evil, the heroes of the novel live in an era when

00:20:07

humanity again begins to get confused in

00:20:10

these It would seem simple words in their

00:20:12

world The Mafia comes to the defense

00:20:14

of humanity and the remnants of government

00:20:17

structures strangle subordinates grotesquely

00:20:20

bureaucracy and moral control

00:20:23

turning into a parody of themselves,

00:20:26

one of the heroes suggests that the

00:20:28

concept of good and evil was invented by the author of

00:20:30

the Legend of Adam and Eve To explain

00:20:33

why people they get sick, where do they

00:20:35

get viruses of body and spirit, these same

00:20:39

viruses of body and spirit, as well as various

00:20:41

comparisons and allegories associated with them

00:20:44

become the most important theme of the work

00:20:47

in one of his interviews, Stevenson said that he

00:20:49

wrote about what will be relevant at all

00:20:52

times about the typical human property of

00:20:55

brain ability

00:20:59

He compares infecting the ideas of the cult of religion with a

00:21:02

virus, and there have always been plenty of people who want to infect someone else’s brain

00:21:05

for profit or to establish

00:21:07

control.

00:21:10

Stevenson draws parallels between the

00:21:13

work of the brain and the algorithms of the

00:21:15

computer; he admits that people

00:21:18

understand and can communicate not only in

00:21:21

the language they were taught in in

00:21:23

childhood, the science fiction writer calls this language

00:21:25

acquired and

00:21:28

understandable to everyone from birth, the

00:21:30

acquired language structures the

00:21:33

human brain during learning, while

00:21:35

it is superimposed on a common

00:21:38

adverb based on the deep

00:21:40

structures of the brain contained in the basic

00:21:43

neural circuits that must

00:21:45

exist to allow our

00:21:48

brain to master a higher language this assumption

00:21:51

is mixed with the ability to

00:21:53

influence the human brain with the

00:21:55

help of images in the metaverse

00:21:58

and all this is intertwined with Sumerian

00:21:59

mythology and the biblical story of the

00:22:02

Tower of Babel, which specifically

00:22:04

mentions a common language for everyone in

00:22:07

the metaverse, a person felt

00:22:10

safe, but that was how it was until then until the

00:22:12

Meta virus appeared in the virtual world,

00:22:15

forcing any system

00:22:18

to infect itself with new viruses and

00:22:20

threatening hackers in reality, it

00:22:23

was enough to see the seemingly chaotic

00:22:26

static of a pixel and the hacker

00:22:30

turned into a

00:22:31

vegetable. Stevenson explained this as under

00:22:35

certain conditions you can get

00:22:37

direct access to the deep structures of the

00:22:39

brain bypassing the functions of higher languages,

00:22:42

when a programmer learns to write binary

00:22:45

code, he creates

00:22:47

certain neural chains in his brain, when he

00:22:50

uses them, nerve cells form

00:22:53

new connections, axons multiply and

00:22:56

penetrate, through brain cells, his bioindustry

00:23:00

itself is modified, in other words, software

00:23:04

turns into hardware, and when through the

00:23:06

visual the nerve receives certain

00:23:08

information in binary code, the

00:23:11

programmer's brain perceives it as a command

00:23:14

to action since a person is not

00:23:16

able to control his brain at

00:23:18

such a basic level. This is why

00:23:20

hackers were susceptible to the effects of the

00:23:23

Meta virus in the metaverse, the author

00:23:26

compares such an impact with the

00:23:28

infection of computer software in the

00:23:30

real world the virus was spread

00:23:32

using chemically treated

00:23:35

blood serum taken from people already infected with the Meta

00:23:38

virus and also under the guise of a drug

00:23:41

known as an avalanche,

00:23:45

Stevenson does not stop at comparing the brain with a computer,

00:23:47

he touches on the topic of

00:23:49

reprogramming people and entire

00:23:52

nations with the help of cults and religions,

00:23:54

which he divides into irrational

00:23:57

ones there are viral and

00:24:00

rational, the main idea of the novel

00:24:03

is an attempt to reprogram

00:24:05

humanity in the age of information

00:24:07

technology, while the author clarifies that

00:24:10

these technologies are just one of the ways to

00:24:13

achieve results for people who

00:24:16

know the method of penetrating the deep

00:24:18

structures of the brain and are able to

00:24:20

program someone else’s mind with streams of

00:24:22

verbal data Stevenson calls

00:24:26

neurolinguistic,

00:24:28

mentioning Sumerian mythology, various

00:24:30

religions and some aspects of the organization of

00:24:33

ancient society, the science fiction writer draws

00:24:35

parallels with the modern world and its

00:24:38

structure, including Stevenson writing

00:24:40

about the importance of information hygiene,

00:24:43

maintaining which can protect

00:24:45

rational ideas from the harmful

00:24:48

effects of

00:24:50

viral ideas. Sumerian myths are not entertainment

00:24:53

and do not teach in that sense in what Tel

00:24:58

Nama Greek myths their myths reflect a

00:25:01

consciousness fundamentally different from

00:25:04

ours writes

00:25:08

[music]

00:25:19

[music]

00:25:21

Stevenson in Sumerian mythology there is

00:25:24

a term so called that powerful

00:25:28

divine forces that control the course of

00:25:31

development of the world and also all

00:25:33

divine and earthly institutions

00:25:36

these forces could be possessed as gods as well as

00:25:38

temples and even entire cities dedicated to them.

00:25:41

In addition, M is the

00:25:45

foundation of morality given to people from above that regulated the

00:25:49

relationship of people with the gods and among themselves,

00:25:52

and so Stevenson estates in the novel

00:25:54

a lot of information about the existence of the Sumerians

00:25:57

compares following m with the use of a

00:26:00

computer program and the entire

00:26:02

set of m with the operating system of

00:26:05

society regulating almost every

00:26:08

step from starting a fire to the

00:26:11

art of war and

00:26:13

the functioning of the priesthood and royal

00:26:15

power, without these rules the existing

00:26:18

system instantly turned into an inert

00:26:21

human

00:26:22

mass, for example, there was a program

00:26:25

for plowing a furrow and sowing grain,

00:26:29

there was a program for baking

00:26:31

bread and another one for building a house

00:26:34

there were also m for performing

00:26:36

higher level functions such as

00:26:39

war, diplomacy and religious Ritual

00:26:43

All the skills necessary for

00:26:45

functioning were self-sustaining

00:26:58

which was a database m

00:27:01

and controlled by the king or priest when

00:27:05

someone needed to bake bread he

00:27:07

went to the temple and downloaded m for

00:27:10

baking bread A central database

00:27:13

was necessary Among other things

00:27:15

Because some m had to be

00:27:18

done at a strictly defined time

00:27:21

if people did m plowing the land

00:27:24

and sowing grain at the wrong time of year

00:27:27

they died and everyone was in danger of starvation the only

00:27:31

way to ensure that m would be

00:27:33

done at the right time was to build

00:27:36

astronomical observatories to

00:27:38

monitor the change of seasons to

00:27:41

maintain the economy the priest watched the

00:27:44

heavens and at the right time of year issued the

00:27:48

corresponding

00:27:49

metaverse as the highest level of

00:27:53

development of computer technology

00:27:55

global reformatting economics

00:27:59

linguistics and assumptions about the

00:28:01

existence of a common basic language

00:28:04

religion and its connection with the mythology of ancient

00:28:07

peoples and finally a virus capable of

00:28:10

infecting a person both in reality and

00:28:12

in the metaverse in the finale Stevenson

00:28:15

manages to build many seemingly

00:28:18

distant themes into a logical

00:28:20

chain that begins at the moment of the

00:28:23

emergence of life on earth

00:28:26

Ikayu

00:28:28

for the time where the

00:28:31

megalomaniac Media The tycoon planned to become the king

00:28:34

of kings, controlling everyone and everyone with

00:28:37

the help of the religion of technology and the

00:28:41

avalanche virus. The novel is an extraordinary

00:28:45

bestseller in North America alone, it

00:28:47

sold a million copies. Not the last

00:28:50

people in Silicon Valley believe that it

00:28:52

anticipates our future. And VK magazine lists the

00:28:57

hundred best novels in English

00:29:00

published with since the founding of the magazine in

00:29:03

1923, however, I will not recommend

00:29:07

starting your acquaintance with

00:29:08

Stevenson’s work with this book; it is still one

00:29:11

of the first works of the writer and

00:29:13

the style here, despite the cheerful

00:29:16

introduction, is very lame, because of this the

00:29:19

reader may get the wrong

00:29:21

idea about the entire work of the

00:29:23

science fiction writer the style of which has

00:29:25

significantly improved over time, the stinging avalanche is worth

00:29:28

reading after the

00:29:30

author’s later works such as Anathem

00:29:33

Kryptonomicon or Semievie

00:29:36

Well, now a little about what I did

00:29:39

n’t like about the avalanche one of the main

00:29:42

problems arises from the variety of the

00:29:44

listed ideas that I’m parodying the

00:29:47

classics of cyberpunk absurd and malicious

00:29:49

the tone of the narrative with which Stevenson

00:29:51

begins the avalanche disappears without a trace as

00:29:55

soon as episodes of connection between the vi and

00:29:58

Sumerian mythology appear, it

00:30:00

seems that these chapters were written by

00:30:03

another person or were hastily

00:30:06

implanted a couple of days before the text

00:30:09

was submitted to the publisher, a lot of

00:30:12

information about the structure of Sumerian

00:30:13

society and the virus was presented mainly in

00:30:16

the form of a dialogue, which is not at all similar to

00:30:19

communication; the heroes retell

00:30:22

reference articles to each other, exchanging such

00:30:25

paragraphs of text in these dialogues,

00:30:28

their individuality is not manifested; it is noticeable

00:30:31

that the author simply diluted the solid text with

00:30:34

leading questions, thus

00:30:36

turning it into a dialogue; technical

00:30:39

details are one of the most important features

00:30:41

novel Yes, and perhaps the entire

00:30:44

writer’s work in an avalanche, the science fiction writer does not skimp on

00:30:47

them even in those moments when they can

00:30:50

kill the dynamics of the scene; more than once, an intense

00:30:53

episode is suddenly interrupted by a long

00:30:55

description of the operating principle of some

00:30:58

device; in the middle of the novel, the style

00:31:00

levels off; the caustic tone and hooligan

00:31:03

mood are completely lost Stevenson

00:31:06

seems to forget about how he

00:31:08

started his book; frankly

00:31:11

boring and simply unnecessary chapters appear that have

00:31:14

no effect on the development of

00:31:16

the plot at all; each subsequent chapter can

00:31:19

be the complete opposite of the

00:31:21

previous one; vivid images and witty

00:31:24

dialogues suddenly give way to

00:31:27

descriptions; and conversations containing the essence of the entire

00:31:29

novel senseless

00:31:32

skirmishes, despite the fact that by the end

00:31:34

Stevenson managed to connect

00:31:36

interesting ideas with each other, the stories of the main characters

00:31:40

end somewhat blurry and the

00:31:42

action leading up to the ending turned out to be

00:31:45

quite drained, all this strongly

00:31:48

contrasts with the bright beginning, but the text

00:31:51

continues to attract attention due to the

00:31:53

abundance of ideas gradually

00:31:57

one on top of the other despite the fact that filmmakers are not

00:32:00

particularly fond of the cyberpunk genre, not a novel,

00:32:03

for example, they still haven’t made a film about

00:32:05

transferring an avalanche to the screen, they started talking

00:32:07

almost immediately after the publication of

00:32:10

the novel, the director could have been Vincenzo

00:32:13

Natali, who directed Coop and the Chimera, and recently,

00:32:16

together with Salk Riley, who directed the series

00:32:19

peripheral devices based on the novel Ulma

00:32:22

Gibson didn’t work out with Slavina, the director was

00:32:25

against the proposal to

00:32:27

fit all the events into a couple of hours, it

00:32:29

wouldn’t have been possible, and the optimal option, in the

00:32:32

director’s opinion, would have been a mini-series.

00:32:37

Marco Brahm Billa, who directed the destroyer, was also considered as a director, but

00:32:40

in the end the film was abandoned in 2012 by the

00:32:45

Paramount film company announced

00:32:47

another attempt to film an avalanche,

00:32:50

this time the director's chair

00:32:53

was to be taken by Joe Cornish, who directed the comedy

00:32:55

fantasy action movie Aliens on the Block, but

00:32:59

work on the project was frozen and the

00:33:01

next time a film version of an avalanche

00:33:04

was reported only in 2017, when it became

00:33:07

known that the Paramount TV studio was

00:33:10

producing series based on

00:33:12

Stevenson's novel, the

00:33:14

executive producers were Joe

00:33:16

Cornish and honored Hollywood producer

00:33:19

Frank Marshall, who was involved in the creation of hundreds of

00:33:21

films, including all parts of Back to

00:33:24

the Future and the Adventures of Indiana John

00:33:28

in 2019, the project moved to hbo Max

00:33:32

Joe Cornish again became a director and Frank

00:33:35

Marshall remained an executive producer

00:33:38

However, in 2021, hbo abandoned the

00:33:42

project and the avalanche returned to

00:33:45

paramount. Since then, there has been no news about the project;

00:33:48

in general, the doubts of the studio

00:33:51

bosses are clear; the plot captured the imagination of

00:33:54

readers in the early nineties after

00:33:56

matri. And many films about virtual

00:33:59

reality are hardly capable of surprising

00:34:02

viewer in the 20th century in a world where

00:34:06

there will soon be its own

00:34:08

metaverse with walks through virtual

00:34:10

space it will be difficult to

00:34:13

interest anyone, but based on the book it would be possible

00:34:15

to make a good

00:34:17

courier simulator with shootouts, high-speed

00:34:19

pizza delivery, sword fights and

00:34:21

other delights of

00:34:23

cyberpunk, so what

00:34:25

is cyberpunk, a parody of cyberpunk, or

00:34:29

what the genre was supposed to be

00:34:31

initially, unlike William Gibson,

00:34:34

who knew practically nothing about

00:34:36

computers? And his main works

00:34:39

were written on an antique typewriter by Neal

00:34:41

Stephenson, who was born into a family of scientists,

00:34:44

studied physics and geography, and also

00:34:46

proved himself to be quite good

00:34:48

programmer began his writing career

00:34:51

in the era of the dawn of information

00:34:53

technology among those who drew ideas from

00:34:57

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey

00:35:00

Brin one of the developers of Kwei Michael Ash

00:35:04

The novel was a required reference book

00:35:06

for all Xbox developers and the description of the

00:35:09

earth program in the novel inspired the

00:35:12

creators of Google Earth before her at

00:35:15

arm's length hangs a ball

00:35:18

the size of a grapefruit, a picture of the planet Earth that is perfect in every

00:35:21

detail, this is what the

00:35:24

program is called, it is a

00:35:27

user

00:35:30

interface developed by the Central Intelligence Corporation for tracking all

00:35:32

available information owned by the

00:35:35

Central Intelligence

00:35:37

Corporation, all geographic maps of

00:35:39

the planet, weather reports, architectural

00:35:42

plans and satellite observation data, an

00:35:46

avalanche - this is a set of interesting ideas and

00:35:49

forecasts, the accuracy of which we Swami

00:35:52

can already assess when

00:35:55

Stevenson entered the arena from the founders of

cyberpunk with Hero the Raven and the

00:36:03

metaverse protagonists. However, the high-voltage

00:36:05

impulse of the avalanche did not revive the genre, but rather once again

00:36:09

reminded of its past short-lived

00:36:12

greatness, the world of the future characters and their

00:36:15

stories for Stevenson are far from the main

00:36:18

components; he is more interested in

00:36:20

the ideas raised in the novel; everything else is

00:36:24

necessary to tie them together; an

00:36:27

avalanche is good science

00:36:29

fiction; and the novel is considered cyberpunk

00:36:32

only due to external signs, and

00:36:34

if Stevenson reveals the first half of the name of the genre in

00:36:37

more detail

00:36:40

then here punk is present only at the beginning

00:36:43

and then it all serves as a

00:36:52

cyberverse for the Diamond Age, the event

00:36:55

of which takes place in the same world, but in a

00:36:58

more distant future here Stevenson

00:37:01

uses a completely different, more

00:37:03

serious and thorough approach to

00:37:05

telling the stories of his heroes, it seems

00:37:08

that it was after the avalanche that he found his

00:37:10

style and constantly improves it,

00:37:14

does this mean that when getting acquainted with

00:37:16

the work of a science fiction writer, the avalanche should be

00:37:18

skipped Not at all The novel rightfully

00:37:21

takes its place Among the most significant

00:37:24

science fiction works of the

00:37:26

last, the

00:37:28

concepts described by Stevenson

00:37:30

Возможно, пройдут годы, прежде чем она будет создана, но о том, каким станет общее виртуальное пространство, задумываются уже давно. Термин «метавселенная» придумал писатель-фантаст Нил Стивенсон. В романе «Лавина», опубликованном в 1992 году, он детально описал принципы, на которых строится постоянно действующее виртуальное пространство. Нил Стивенсон один из главных фантастов современности и выход каждого его произведения поклонники жанра считают событием. Однако в начале 90-х о писателе мало кто знал. «Лавина» - не первый его роман, писать он начал ещё в 80-х, но публикация этого произведения стала прорывом, Стивенсона назвали одним из лидеров научной фантастики, идейным наследником отцов-основателей киберпанка - Уильяма Гибсона и Брюса Стерлинга.
