The Algorithm of Apocalyptic Literature Driving the Metaverse : Focusing on Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash
This study examines how the core contents of “Daniel,” “Revelation,” God’s Grace, and Snow Crash, which remind us that humanity can be destroyed by uncontrollable pride and selfishness, are interconnected as simulacra, forming an algorithmic relationship with one another. Like “Daniel,” “Revelation,” and God’s Grace which are apocalyptic literature, Snow Crash shows humanity’s constant craving for a higher dimension to overcome an absurd world, which becomes the driving force to lead the metaverse. In this process, it is revealed that the fundamental contents of “Daniel,” “Revelation,” God’s Grace, and Snow Crash are closely correlated through their simulation relationship, forming an algorithmic structure. While “Daniel,” “Revelation,” and God’s Grace superficially depict a dystopian society that may occur in the future, Snow Crash specifically challenges itself to manifest a new dimension beyond human control. Neal Stephenson’s experimental writing, driven by the hope of subverting the limitations of humanity, visualizes a virtual world that is the metaverse in Snow Crash. In conclusion, Snow Crash which leads people to higher dimension has an algorithmic relationship with apocalyptic literature, driving the emergence of the metaverse while embodying a cyberpunk “Revelation.”
