Your statement that it was coined in 1992 by Neal Stephenson is incorrect. Avatar is a term that has been used in spiritual communities for centuries and refers to great teachers, such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed, etc. I personally have used it since the 1980's when referencing the great teachers and prophets.
