Neal Stephenson’s Lamina1's vision for 'Open Metaverse'

Lamina1 - a new brand cofounded by legendary science fiction writer and futurist Neal Stephenson - released its inaugural litepaper on September 23, in which the company outlined its strategic vision for building the ‘Open Metaverse’ - in other words, an interoperable metaverse that’s interoperable and accessible to all.
The core mission behind Lamina1, according to the litepaper, is “to deliver a Layer1 blockchain, interoperating tools and decentralized services optimized for the Open Metaverse - providing communities with infrastructure, not gatekeepers to build a more immersive internet.”
The company says it also aspires to reshape the power dynamics that have become characteristic of the internet in its present form: “As we usher in this bold new era of content creation and participation, we must revisit the centralized business models of web2 to empower creators and consumers with greater agency, ownership and privacy … Lamina1 delivers critical infrastructure to enable the trillion-dollar economy of the Open Metaverse.”
The litepaper also teased Stephenson’s "THEEE Metaverse," described as “a richly-imagined interactive virtual world with an unforgettable origin story” that’s currently in the early stages of development. More details will be coming soon, the company said in the document.
