FICTION IS OUR NEW REALITY
What is happening in our daily life? Is that really important or could the reality itself be an illusion? We are all talking about the metaverse, which basically is our real life in a new fiction world. The trend among teenagers is changing to mangas and animes from TV series. Now we can experience reality in animation. Then the question is which one is real? Your experience or the definition of it?
“the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them”
This is the first definition of reality. As we can see, reality was described as a thing that exists but not in an idealistic or a notional way. When we are talking about fiction, the internet, and human-like robots, how can we say that reality can be apart from the notional idea? Isn’t the notional idea the trigger that has created the world we live in? The answer depends on who you ask. Of course, the new generations will answer you that fiction is also their reality in terms of socializing, learning, etc. Because they were raised with technology. Hence, we can say there is a conflict between generations and a transformation to the new mindset.
The change in our approach to existence might look threatening for adults who especially want to maintain their old life habits since the new can be destructive. For instance, the internet was the end of libraries. The human-like robots have caused so many dismissals. And the last but for me the most important example is fiction. It will be the end of many things, beginning with the definition of reality. It could be a really cruel item to teach history, social intelligence, and spreading the news if it could be used effectively. What do you think about the cause of Japanese culture’s popularity? Mangas and animes, of course.

Isn’t the manga itself an innovation in terms of combining our favorites: fiction, books, and animation? The value of manga cannot be ignored by the new generation because the probability of building new features just like metaverse or even blockchain can be based on our imagination and we know that people’s imaginations are shaped by animation in childhood. Let’s add these animations more adult issues and then make it look like a book so they can both enjoy reading and looking at art while thinking
Until now, this was how we utilize fiction to build our tomorrow. And currently, the question is, what are we going to do with them to make them our new reality with the help of innovations?
We were discussing whether the metaverse or anything related to the internet can be our reality. In this phase, we cannot make such assumptions because our minds and the technology have not been ready yet. However, it does not mean this will last long. The opposite, this phase will be less long than we thought.
Fiction will be more efficient than reality. The combination of fiction and technology can lead to variations of new ways to learn, build and connect while enjoying ourselves and our mind is the only limitation we will have regardless of our culture, economic position, or even technology.
