FOREWORD BY DON TAPSCOTT CEO of the Tapscott Group, executive chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute, and world-leading authority on the impact of technology on business and society. The Internet is now, but the future is the metaverse. The metaverse is a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and others. The prediction is that the next ten years will be the golden era of the metaverse, and everyone's life, entertainment, social interaction, and work will increasingly take place in the metaverse world. This book outlines six important trends in the era of the metaverse, that will see dramatic changes in technology and the bringing together of digital and physical worlds. People will experience a great migration of their social life and economic activities into the metaverse. Furthermore, the authors argue that, in the metaverse, we can get rid of many of the constraints of the physical world, achieve a better self in the new digital space, and truly maximize our own value as human beings. This book sets out how you can seize the opportunity of the metaverse era.
