"In (William) Gibson's 1996 novel, Idoru, large portions of the book takes place in personal cyberspaces. A primary character, Chia, spends almost all of her time listening to music in her virtual room as an avatar. Sound familiar? It should, because it's exactly the roadmap Phil Harrison lined up for the PlayStation Home." /dailytech.com/
Gibson himself says "It wasn't the vision I had."
"Chia and her buds build their treehouses in corporate ghost sites. That's the difference. Interstitial. Gotta be interstitial. Call me when you get it worked out. I'll be on eBay." /william gibson's blog/
