Books: The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything.
In this book out in July 2022 Ball expands upon his Primer to show why trillions are at stake in the creation of the persistent, virtual world that is the metaverse. Ball provides the definitive definition of the much-debated concept, explains how the metaverse will be realised, and reveals what it will mean for the automotive, healthcare, education industries, among many others — even sex work.
THE METAVERSE also addresses the governance and philosophies of the metaverse, the various battles and wars that will be fought over it, and how independent users, developers, and voters can shape its development.
With sweeping authority, Ball captures the promise and peril of the next internet, in a book that will elicit comparisons to the modern touchstones The Second Machine Age and Superintelligence.
