• Zuckerberg heralded a near-limitless new realm, proclaiming: "You're going to be able to do almost anything you can imagine."
• Yet more than a year after Meta's abrupt rebranding, the metaverse remains inscrutable
• The uncertain interoperability of different companies' platforms threatens to fragment what is supposed to be a single, continuous user experience
• Unencumbered by the limitations of history, nationality, biology, and physical space, autonomous individuals can freely become whatever they wish at any given moment, subject only to the limits of innovation and a self-regulating marketplace
