Why read it?
1 author picked The Metaverse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While many game developers have often referred to the virtual world they were building as inspired by the Metaverse of Snow Crash, the term never quite caught on outside their industryāuntil seasoned media executive and venture capitalist Matthew Ball came along.
Hitting the shelves exactly 30 years after Neal Stephensonās novel was published, Matt changed all that, explaining the concept in terms that the broader business world could understand. Also highly recommended for delving into the financial and technical challenges that must be surmounted to create a fully instantiated Metaverse.
From Wagner's list on understanding virtual worlds and internet culture.
