Metaverse

by Kevin Chen

In today’s increasingly virtual and online world, the metaverse is becoming an ever more real concept. Metaverse , by Kevin Chen, explores this concept in detail, outlining a framework and set of guidelines to help us navigate this new space. In particular, an economic system based on blockchain is proposed, and both the advantages and potential disadvantages of the metaverse are analyzed carefully. The author considers the metaverse to be the web “connecting the dots” in the Internet era, explaining, critiquing, and forecasting what our future metaverse world may look like.

With the advancement of virtual reality, augmented reality, AI, and other forms of technology, the real world and the virtual have become increasingly fused; what was once left to the realms of science-fiction is now a genuine possibility for humanity. In some ways, society is at a crossroads, standing on the precipice of a digital age—this is the metaverse. For readers interested in technology, futurism, and the Internet, this book can be an interesting and thought-provoking read.
