Multiverso
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the state of parallel realities. Once science fiction, as the digital-info world overlays the physical world, it has become everyday fact.
The globalisation of markets has been inseparable from rapid and complex developments in virtual technology. And yet how this affects our everyday world has often been hard to grasp. It was only their speedy collapse in September 2008, which brought home how everything – including us – is folded into this process. What became clear in the fallout was that, philosophically speaking, any old ideas we may have had about singular experiences are untenable – be they individuals, single markets, protected rates of exchange or safe pots of cash. All are interlinked. A change in one effects dramatic shifts in all the others.
