LOS ANGELES — Whether you like it or not, the metaverse is coming. Hollywood had better get ready.
That's one of the many takeaways from investor and author Matthew Ball's new book, "The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything," which attempts to provide a road map for the metaverse and explain what it means for the future of the internet.
There's been a lot of talk about the metaverse and how it will affect entertainment, even though there's still a lot of confusion about what it actually is. For the record, the easiest way to think about it is as a future version of the internet where users can move seamlessly through virtual worlds in 3D.
