meatspace


noun. a term, originating from cyberpunk fiction and culture, referring to the real (that is, not virtual) world, the world of flesh and blood. somewhat tongue-in-cheek. the opposite of cybersp-ce.
“writers, who can go for three or four days at a time without talking to people in ‘meatsp-ce’, are particularly attracted to this form of friendship.”
—andrew brown
deriving from cyberpunk novels, meatsp-ce is the world outside of the ‘net– that is to say, the real world, where you do things with your body rather than with your keyboard. william gibson’s novels (neuromancer, mona lisa overdrive, and count zero in particular) note the difference between the ‘net of the console cowboys and the world of the meat outside.
“for many a true computer geek, moving through meatsp-ce is a daunting prospect.”
“simstim was a meat toy, which is why case had never been able to get into it.”
