The metaverse seems to be on everybody's lips - and yet, very few
people can actually explain what it means or why it is important.
This book aims to fill the gap from an interdisciplinary
perspective informed by law and media and communications studies.
Going beyond the optimism emanating from technology companies and
venture capitalists, the authors critically evaluate the
antecedents and the building blocks of the metaverse, the design
and regulatory challenges that need to be solved, and commercial
opportunities that are yet to be fully realised. While the
metaverse is poised to open new possibilities and perspectives, it
will also be a dangerous place - one ripe with threats ranging from
disinformation to intellectual property theft to sexual harassment.
Hence, the book also offers a useful guide to the legal and
political governance issues ahead while also contextualising them
within the broader domain of governance and regulation of digital
technologies.
