'Understanding The Metaverse' was published by Wiley publishing house and was released in October 2022. Dinis highlighted some of the topics that he feels are critical in the progress of society toward digital transformation.
In Understanding the Metaverse: A Business and Ethical Guide, expert product and customer experience strategist Nick Rosa delivers a timely exploration of what is bound to be one of the most important technologies of our time. The author explains the technology that underpins the metaverse as it exists today and that will form the basis for its rapid evolution in the future. He also describes the commercial, ethical, and sociological implications of this technology, showing you the threats and opportunities that individuals and businesses are likely to encounter as they approach the metaverse for the first time.
According to him, technology in human evolution, digital primitives, and the emergence of a case of digital selection hold a special space in the book.
"It looks at the idea of the metaverse more from an evolutionary perspective: from dystopia to utopia, how we get into the metaverse, then gaming to the metaverse, how game mechanics and technology are going forward."
He also liked the idea of the unequable and decentralised blockchain revolution, blockchain and crypto: the brave new world, the sociology of the metaverse, suggestions for a strategic approach to the metaverse for business, and the key role of AI, and deep learning and metaverse.
"It's a synthetic, very interesting book. I think it's interesting the way the book looks at history", he commented while reading out some key portions of the narrative.
