Roblox, Explained: What Every Parent Needs to Know About the Game Taking Over Your Kid's Screen

by Chris Wiser

Millions of kids are logging into Roblox right now. Most parents have no idea what they're actually doing in there.

Roblox, Explained is the no-nonsense guide every parent needs - not to ban the game, but to finally understand it.

Roblox isn't a game. It's a platform - more like YouTube than Mario - where millions of user-created worlds live side by side, and your child is choosing what to explore. That distinction changes everything about how you should be thinking about it.

In this book, bestselling author and technology entrepreneur Chris Wiser breaks down Roblox in plain language, covering what it actually is, why kids are obsessed with it, and what the real risks are (versus the ones parents tend to overreact to). More importantly, he gives you a practical framework for managing it with confidence.

About the author

Chris Wiser was active in the cryptocurrency ecosystem prior to, and through, the 2017 boom. Wiser experienced firsthand the wild rise of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency markets and noticed a shortage of reliable and encompassing resources available for new investors entering the space. In 2018, during the market's "decline and debrief" era, Wiser set out to fill this gap by aggregating his resources and experience to author a handbook for investors looking to understand and invest in the renovated marketplace.

As an avid researcher of emerging technologies, their history and effect on our modern economy, Wiser looks back on the birth of this unique marketplace to provide historical context for how to master it in the current state.
