The Babylon Bee really hit it out of the park with this one: 

God Develops Ultra-Realistic Metaverse Where People Can Talk, Learn, And Work With Other People, Calling It 'Universe'


EARTH—In a bold announcement to all of His children, God unveiled the creation of an ultra-realistic metaverse where people can talk, learn, and work with other people, stating this unique new metaverse will be called “Universe.”

“This is more realistic than any virtual reality I’ve experienced before,” said reality enthusiast Miles Kann while walking through one of the Universe’s city parks in real-time. “I can literally smell the fresh air, touch the cool grass, and interact with other players in incredible ways."

Another early adopter of God’s Universe demonstrated how detailed and immersive the player-to-player interaction was as she showed off her humble home, complete with husband, children, and dog. She thanked God for providing her with a sense of purpose and fulfillment unmatched by any competing product. 

Critics were quick to point out possible bugs in the Universe, listing wars, injustices, violence, and disease, and suggested God either label it “Early Access” or reboot altogether. These criticisms, however, were countered by God’s supporters who were well-versed in the instruction manual, stating a truly realistic Universe must come with the full experience of joy and pain, choice and accountability, life and death, but that the end game was worth it.
​

According to witnesses, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg screamed in terror at the frightening, immutable reality of God’s Universe.

I love that!
But in the 'spirit' of The Babylon Bee article, I couldn't help but think:

Gee, it's too bad that God didn't install a Firewall to protect His 'Universe' from being infected by all the 'demon-virus' malware that's been corrupting the software and causing 'program files' to self destruct!

(or something like that - I'm not 'computer language' fluent)

Alan Watt said this very thing: They will make this world so miserable that we will escape into a "metaverse" (think "Lawnmower Man II: Jacobs War"). If you have a smart phone, you already have one foot in it. Get rid of it, get yourself an old flip phone and postpone this stepping into the abyss.
The world is breathtakingly beautiful, so get into that. Almost all of our sense of the evil of the world comes through the technology we use.Disconnect, and suddenly, all is well.

Blurring the lines forever. Tron 2.0, Ready Player One, The Matrix eventually, Every filmed Philip K. Dick book most of Asimov´s books, some of C. Clarkes books, some of Reyolds books. Why were we even worried about Orwell and Huxley when they are taking more horriffying stuff more even more serious..
