5 Books You Need to Be on Your Metaverse Reading List (Except Snow Crash)
It’s that time of year when you sit by the beach or pool and read some books. While going through this year’s New York Times bestseller list, we thought we’d give you a different reading list. This one is all about the Metaverse.
Yes, we know what you’re thinking “Here goes, another random list that recommends Snow Crash.” But we’re not going to do it. Whether you read it or not, by now you know the gist of the book. Instead, we want to give you a reading list that will help diversify your understanding of the Metaverse and all that it entails.
Here are 5 books on your Metaverse reading list:
Although you won’t see Rainbow’s End on many Metaverse reading lists – perhaps because it was written more recently than the others – it’s well worth your time.
Vernor Vinge envisions a future where we all have micro-computers embedded in our clothes. We all wear AR/VR glasses and contacts and observe the world through a thick layer of data.
The book shows how we can potentially pull the Internet into the real world and what it could mean for human interaction, education, and government.
You always read about augmented reality, but do you understand how the technology works? Or do you know how it started or where it is going? Helen Papagiannis’ book offers all that and more.
For Papagiannis, AR is more than just placing digital objects in the real world. It could potentially change how we interact with the world and each other. The book details the potential applications of AR in areas such as medicine, retail, and even our relationships.
If you want to feel smart, learn something new, and not break a sweat, we have the book for you. Dawn of New Everything Jaron Lanier’s personal memoir about the early stages of virtual reality development.
As the London Times put it, the book is “poetic and prophetic.” Lanier describes his work on early VR and talks about the scientific and cultural impact of this particular technology on our reality.
Now, this book isn’t concerned with how the Metaverse will change the world here; It tells us exactly when to do it. The authors reveal more than 100 manufacturers who have developed equipment that will run Metaverse.
Terry and Kinney also understand that not all people are aware of the potential of the Metaverse, so they dedicate a section of the book to teaching people about it. The book is equal parts an AZ guide and a love letter to the metaverse.
O’Neill’s book is far more optimistic than your average dystopian metaverse. In A Future So Bright, O’Neill argues that we’ve been building toward a more connected world since the dawn of time.
He says that the metaverse will ultimately benefit humanity by bringing us closer and more empathetic to one another. It’s a different perspective that’s definitely worth reading.
In conclusion
So there you have it, 5 Metaverse-related books that aren’t Snow Crash. Next time you try to explain the concept of the metaverse to someone and they give you a blank stare; You can take a book off the list and send it home to read. Trust us, you’ll love Total Professional.
