Still, it left an impression on some people - the creators of the "virtual world" Second Life cited it as their primary inspiration.
Stephenson's second-to-latest novel, Reamde, made good use of an MMO as one of several settings, though overall it was less sci-fi and more of a day-after-tomorrow techno-thriller.
