The real reason behind all of this is the worry at Facebook is VR could be a going concern in 20 or 30 years. And who is going to still use text social media once it takes off under some other brand? So rather than sit on their butts and wait to become the next MySpace, Meta is nothing more than an early dibs to scare off future potential competition. Essentially squatting on market share before there is a market to lay the foundations of a monopoly. If it fails, they have the money to weather it, and if VR does become a thing then they don't even have to be good at it as who's going to compete with a company with the resources of Facebook with a decade head start?

You have infinite respawns. That's not a game thing, it's in the story. It costs money but you're already so far in debt that it's meaningless * Food and housing completely paid for. The story implies that there is plenty of entertainment available at jacked up prices, but against, already so far in debt. The main issue is that like most physically-intensive jobs your ability to do it will shut down within 20 years and you'll still be a gazillion dollars in debt, but if you're anti-union under modern day conditions, why would the conditions in the game change anything?

If you're in space you're never not trapped in a high-tech coffin, so your boss could just shut off your load-bearing IoT poo poo remotely and fabricate evidence that you maliciously sabotaged your own oxygen supply.

Or they could "enhance" your lungs in some fashion "for your safety during an unlikely (but non-zero possiblity) hard vacuum event". Breathing as a service.

The state of VR on launch with the first Vive and Oculus was so awful I think the few people who were interested enough to really try it out were immediately turned off. They just rushed out some lovely headsets way too early. I still can't figure out what Zuck is doing with this meta stuff but it's probably not a VR chat room

It depends on your industry and role. I used to work with a lot of oil and gas folks and there’s a lot of antivax statements from them. However in my current customer facing industrial tech role I’ve added enough people that my LinkedIn feed is mainly just new products, partnerships, “visit us at <trade show>” and the like. it’s directly relevant to my job so it’s worth a skim.
