Step into the Metaverse
An incisive glimpse into the future of the internet
A few months ago, I published my fourth book, Step into the Metaverse, which is meant as a blueprint for an open metaverse. As part of this book, I did nearly 100 in-depth interviews with the stakeholders building the open metaverse. I have turned a selection of these interviews into a new podcast, called ‘Step into the Metaverse’.
If you are interested in learning from the leaders, thought leaders and founders building the open metaverse, subscribe to my podcast on your favourite podcast platform, and you will be notified when new interviews are published.
