Advance Praise for Welcome to the Metaverse: ""A breathtaking dive into the virtual world of the not-so-distant future. Superbly succinct and comprehensive at the same time, this book will tell you everything you always wanted to know about the metaverse but were afraid to ask."" -- Vuk Jeremic, former President, UN General Assembly ""David Shrier has created an invaluable primer for anyone interested in our digital future. With a broad and an incisive approach, he has dissected and demystified the emerging metaverse from a fascinating array of angles. With this book we now have a cohesive view of a phenomenon decades in the making yet in many ways still inchoate. Shrier helps us understand the inevitable and vast impact the metaverse will have on us as individuals, communities, and societies."" -- Richard Sarnoff, Partner and Chairman, Media, Entertainment, and Education, KKR ""David Shrier is the leading author when it comes to digital innovation. In this book he shares real knowledge and scenario analysis about our future with the metaverse, using simple and clear language. I encourage all business executives and leaders to read his work."" -- Marco Donzelli, Global CEO, HLB International ""From the holodeck to a totally immersive internet, David Shrier's book is a useful guide for understanding the massive new market opportunities enabled by the metaverse, leveraging practical examples of global collaboration and training."" -- Chad Anderson, Managing Partner, Space Capital ""Welcome to the Metaverse is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the family of technologies and approaches that underpin this dynamically growing technology. Shrier's clear writing gets to the point without the hype so often found in frothy media coverage of this topic. Executives, investors, journalists, and the interested public will benefit from this guided tour of the metaverse."" -- Jack Buckley, Vice President, People and People Science, Roblox
