Fast Company: Selected Among 11 Best Technology Books of Summer 2022
Tim Sweeney (CEO of Fortnite-maker Epic Games): “Matthew Ball’s essays have defined, analyzed, and inspired the Metaverse for years. His book is an approachable and essential guide to the strategic, technical, and philosophical foundations of this new medium.”
“This book feels like a rare achievement―a definitive statement about an emerging phenomenon that could shape the digital world, the global economy, and the very experience of human consciousness.”―Derek Thompson, Atlantic staff writer and national best-selling author of Hit Makers
From the leading theorist of the Metaverse comes the definitive account of the next internet: what the Metaverse is, what it will take to build it, and what it means for all of us.
The term “Metaverse” is suddenly everywhere, from the front pages of national newspapers and the latest fashion trends to the plans of the most powerful companies in history. It is already shaping the policy platforms of the US government, the European Union, and the Chinese Communist Party.
But what, exactly, is the Metaverse? As pioneering theorist and venture capitalist Matthew Ball explains, it is a persistent and interconnected network of 3D virtual worlds that will eventually serve as the gateway to most online experiences, and also underpin much of the physical world. For decades, these ideas have been limited to science fiction and video games, but they are now poised to revolutionize every industry and function, from finance and healthcare to education, consumer products, city planning, dating, and well beyond.
Taking us on an expansive tour of the “next internet,” Ball demonstrates that many proto-Metaverses are already here, such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. Yet these offer only a glimpse of what is to come. Ball presents a comprehensive definition of the Metaverse before explaining the technologies that will power it―and the breakthroughs that will be necessary to fully realize it. He addresses the governance challenges the Metaverse entails; investigates the role of Web3, blockchains, and NFTs; and predicts Metaverse winners and losers. Most importantly, he examines many of the Metaverse’s almost unlimited applications.
The internet will no longer be at arm’s length; instead, it will surround us, with much of our lives, labor, and leisure taking place inside the Metaverse. Bringing clarity and authority to a frequently misunderstood concept, Ball foresees trillions of dollars in new value―and the radical reshaping of society.

Not a must read
If you've been following metaverse and blockchain news and understand how games work, you don't need to read this.

Misleading title
I am in chapter 8 of this book. It is particularly well narrated, but The Future of Computer Gaming would be a much better title. Maybe the last chapters will bring it back to the real world, but I will probably not read them. I am a real world (physical world) architect and very interested in the future but my interest in computer gaming is limited learning through simulations, such as flight simulation.

Outstanding
An excellent book on where the technology is today but also how far it needs to go before the Metaverse can begin to fulfill its potential. Also does a great job of covering regulatory issues.

METAVERSE
“The Metaverse” is widely talked about but little understood by the public. In Matthew Ball’s densely packed review of todays and tomorrow’s tech future. Listeners will be surprised to find how far the metaverse is from today’s world but how life-changing it will be in the future. The metaverse has not achieved its potential but when fully developed, Ball implies the metaverse will be the most revolutionary societal change since the industrial revolution.
For we who are ignorant of the inner workings of coding and computer hardware, Ball implies metaverse’ virtual and augmented reality are at a “model T” stage of development. Having to use a cumbersome headset or computer aided eyeglasses are far from accurately creating or recalling reality. Ball explains, to achieve reality in the metaverse, hardware and software development is many years from success.
The metaverse may be the equivalent of the industrial revolution but whether that will be a good or ill omen is as difficult to know as whether A.I. will be an enhancement or threat to society. The metaverse is unlikely to change human nature. What Ball makes clear is the metaverse is here in a two-dimensional, gaming and internet sense. It will only become more powerful as the third dimension is added.

Great explanation of many hurdles to establishing the metaverse
I enjoyed the explanations Mathew shared around the current obstacles to creating in the metaverse and why they exist. He has a grasp of current issues and a strong foundation he uses to build his case. I recommend this book to creators and developers considering the plunge into the metaverse.

A very interesting look at the future
I was very impressed with this book. The author has clearly thought through this subject from all angles and did a great job laying out what will be required for, and influenced by the Metaverse. It can't get here soon enough.

A super thorough and sane overview
A super thorough and sane overview of what the metaverse will be. The author is rightly critical of big tech's maneuvers but is realistic about the metaverse it self.

Best Served Cold to Haters of the Metaverse!
A fun listen to the end for all the believers in the next phase of the internet. For the haters and naysayers you might want to listen just to get more angry!

great introduction to a very real possible future
loves the book, a bit technical but still great. If you aren't familiar with all technical words it can be a bit tricky but you still will get a great possibility to learn more about the metaverses and everything around it. also why we aren't yet there
