The Interverse is the humanist's answer to the metaverse: realities connected to each other, with the technology kept in the background. It started as human to human and later grew to take in other species.
How the word moved
I coined it in November 2021 in M5, the same season as the Mauhaus, and said right away that it should embrace all beings. In January 2022 I wrote that the interverse inscribes the planetary city. I came back to it in December 2025 to close the AI Bubble series, this time as the humanist's reality of connection.
In my words
"If the Metaverse was the technologist’s fantasy of immersion, the Interverse is the humanist’s reality of connection."

"The Interverse can go dystopian as easily as it can go humane."
