The metaverse is a vision of how the next generation of the internet will operate, and it is brimming with big and convincing arguments about where human life is heading. It is an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand the true shape of our virtual future.

Herman Narula argues that the metaverse is a vision of how the next generation of the internet will operate, and it is deeply rooted in history and psychology. He 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 is a must-read book that needs to be introduced in every school curriculum globally for our upcoming metaversial society and fulfilment economy.

Reader reviews have been positive, with one reader saying that the book unlocked their understanding of the Metaverse in a completely new and refreshing way. Another reader said that Herman's description of what the metaverse may become is by far the most compelling.
