Meta (Facebook) has shifted its main focus from working on real-life services, over to creating new ways to use Virtual Reality. That definitely differentiates the company from the fictional one that we are comparing it to. However, even an employee of Facebook compared the two companies when Dave Egger's book was released.

Facebook purchased the company Oculus VR in 2014. Since then the implementation of VR into our daily lives hasn't soared. Nevertheless, the company Meta (Facebook) is working on creating a lot of different things to use the technology on.

Needless to say, after Meta secures a big chunk of said money.
