Virtual Society

Herman Narula argues that it is all of these things and more. His vision of the metaverse, deeply rooted in history and psychology, looks to the Egyptians, whose concept of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans whose fantasy leagues are as competitive as the real thing, and finds that humanity has always sought ways to supplement our day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alterative immersive experiences.

Virtual Society reveals why the metaverse offers a new universe of ideas that gives everyone the chance to create, explore, and find meaning. It’s an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand the true shape of our virtual future.
