The place you're nowhere and everywhere, arguing with strangers about pizza toppings.

means The networked, non-physical realm where digital communication and online interaction happen — real in effect, nowhere in particular.

from Coined by science fiction writer William Gibson, who first used it in a 1982 short story and popularized it in his 1984 novel 'Neuromancer,' blending 'cybernetics' (from Greek 'kybernetes,' meaning steersman or helmsman) with 'space' to name a data-realm he imagined as a 'consensual hallucination.' He later admitted the word sounded cool before it meant anything precise — the tech world simply adopted it to describe the internet once that hallucination became real.
