The global pandemic has pushed us to be immersed in a global, interconnected galaxy of virtual worlds, avatars, and online communities, a world where the physical and virtual worlds converge. Between Hype and Hyperreality provides readers with a framework to understand the economy and technology of the Metaverse and the hidden danger of dataveillance, while examining the unlimited potential of the Spatial Web. The WebVR experience of the book aims to turn the printed object into an embodiment of the Metaverse, transcending the printed 2D artifact to a 3-dimensional space.
