971 The science fiction book that predicts the future
Strike while the iron is hot, and create a new book while the Nobel Prize is popular, making it the world's top IP.
In the evening, Chen Yao didn't go anywhere and stayed at home for dinner with Lin Yuhan and Li Mengmeng.
The little guy came in to live at home on the first day. The food was quite rich. She liked to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mushroom chicken legs, sweet ribs, sauerkraut grilled fish, and two dishes of vegetables.
Except for Chen Yao, the other two had little appetite and they would definitely not be able to finish six dishes.
Li Mengmeng picked up a piece of mushroom with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After eating one, she picked up a piece of ribs and ate it with relish.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty!"
Li Mengmeng licked the corner of her mouth and picked up another piece of fish.
Lin Yuhan ate in small mouthfuls, but Chen Yao was not so gentle. He picked up the chopsticks and started to swallow them voraciously.
Li Mengmeng followed him like him, constantly stuffing food into his mouth.
Lin Yuhan patted her on the back: "Eat slowly, don't imitate him."
"Oh." Li Mengmeng smiled and nodded.
Most of the food on the table was wiped out by Chen Yao. He ate and drank enough to touch his stomach, then got up and walked back to the room.
The little girl sat on the sofa and watched the cartoon with the remote control. Lin Yuhan had nothing else to do. She watched with her for a while. After half an hour, she returned to her room to do her homework.
After taking a shower, Chen Yao walked out in a bath towel and sat on the computer chair, and turned on the computer in front of him.
What else can I write after writing "The Wandering Earth", "Survival on Mars", and "Jurassic Park"?
There are not many science fiction novels I have read in another parallel world, nor are there many other famous works. I have basically read them, either copy a copy of "Rural Teacher", "Three-Body Problem", "BJ Folding", or the world famous works "Robot".
In fact, I have forgotten most of the plots, so I can only remember a rough one, copy it?
It is impossible to copy.
Besides, today's status and fame are not necessary to copy it. Any book can be popular.
Therefore, Chen Yao decided not to copy any books from his previous life, but to write one of his own originals.
The question is here, what should I write?
When the computer was turned on, Chen Yao touched his chin and stared at the screen in a daze. Countless inspirations flashed through his mind, but they all looked like a meteor flashed by.
"Uncle, how to do this math problem? Can you teach me?"
Li Mengmeng walked in with her homework book, and pointed to a math problem above, and a construction vehicle went from ground a to ground b...
After leaving campus for many years, primary school students' math problems are not so easy to do. Chen Yao thought about it carefully, then took the ballpoint pen and drew a line plot on the draft.
"Do you understand?"
Li Mengmeng was very smart, and she immediately understood with the line segment diagram: "I understand."
Then, she asked the second math problem, which were all Olympiad mathematics, and it took Chen Yao a long time to figure it out.
Now I don’t have time to guide her to do the exam, so I immediately opened the drawer and found a set of VR glasses from it and put them on for the little girl.
This legendary VR glasses are very light and hard to feel the weight, and the appearance is similar to an ultra-thin sunglasses.
After turning on the computer, Chen Yao chose a teacher named Ai Wang in it. Soon, a beautiful teacher with a black dress appeared in front of Li Mengmeng.
"If you have any questions, just ask Teacher Wang."
"Oh." Li Mengmeng felt so amazing, and then jumped back to her room to do her homework.
This is the metaverse, which brings a completely immersive experience, just like a teacher standing by and tutoring her in studies.
Suddenly, Chen Yao suddenly appeared inspiration. Why not just write a novel about the theme of the metaverse?
When it comes to the novel of the Metaverse, I immediately thought of the book "Avalanche". The word "Metaverse" comes from this literary work.
The novel was published in 1992. The author is Neil Stephenson, a famous American science fiction master. "Avalanche" became a hit as soon as it was released, establishing his position in the science fiction literature.
The subsequent publication of "Diamond Age" pushed him to the peak, and Neil Stephenson won the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Feature.
In the field of metaverse novels, he is definitely a master-level figure, which has caused a wave of creative styles of metaverse novels. Today, the concepts of metaverse used in the technology world are all derived from his novels.
The book "Avalanche" tells the story of a chaotic United States in the 21st century.
Avalanche is a virus. This virus can not only spread on the Internet in the future world, but also spread in real life at the same time, causing system collapse and mind failure. The protagonist is facing this horrific era.
Neil Stephenson is really awesome. In 1992, he predicted the future with novels. Viruses, takeaways, meta-universe, etc. that appeared in it all appeared in the 21st century.
The protagonist is a hacker who delivers takeaway part-time jobs and requires delivery in 30 minutes. If it exceeds 30 minutes, it will be shot dead!
Neil Stephenson used humorous methods to tell some of the philosophies of future human society.
How to say it, it gives Chen Yao the feeling that the book "Avalanche" is a work with similar themes as the movie "The Matrix".
In the movie "The Matrix", humans around the world are controlled by robots, and the sleeping human brain is connected to machines.
There are cities, streets, and houses in this world, and everything exists as real.
However, one day the hacker Neo was shocked to find that he was just living in a virtual world, and his real body was controlled by a robot.
It is clearly a virtual world, but it feels very real. This is the meta-universe. "The Matrix" does not say that this is a meta-universe, and there was no concept at that time.
Chen Yao searched the Internet and found that there are also meta-universe themes in this world, and only care about the Bo did not form a climate.
In other words, writing it yourself is a masterpiece that started the sect and sect.
But, do you really want to write "Avalanche" like this?
Chen Yao touched his chin and thought for a long time. He forgot the plot of the book "Avalanche" and it was difficult to write the details.
Besides, many things in the books are not easy to understand. This may be why such awesome book "Avalanche" is not very famous in other countries.
At least, it is far less famous than "Martian Rescue" and "Jurassic Park".
Awesome science fiction writers can predict the future, and this book written by Chen Yao also predicts what will happen in the next few decades.
The movie "The Matrix" has many inspirations worth extracting, and combining it with the novel is the best solution.
So this new book is not called "Avalanche" or "The Matrix".
Chen Yao quickly typed the keyboard and typed its name.
"The Empire of the Metaverse".
