Into the Metaverse

Similar to Artificial Intelligence, there is no official universal definition what is, or what is not, the Metaverse.

The Metaverse is not the mirror of an already existing physical world, but something completely new. Originated inside the virtual reality, it is not limited by the laws of physics. Of course, as it is designed for human interaction with other users, but also AI characters, the presentation must be kept to three dimensions, even if deeper layers can be x dimensional. This to enable that besides the moments of coming together, users would act in parallel worlds.

The Metaverse is more than a meeting platform, it adds on to our already existing reality to bridge the digital and physical worlds, and to continuously deliver us data, information, and knowledge. Will it also be a place to develop wisdom?

This book connects to philosophy, popular science fiction, technology, and the arts to explore how the Metaverse could manifest and develop.
