The Transition to the Metaverse
The word “metaverse” has become one of the main buzzwords of this decade's beginning. Today, it's nearly impossible to browse the news or read business reports without encountering this concept, whose name is borrowed from the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash by American author Neal Stephenson, in which the protagonist lives in an alternative reality within a digital duplicate, where he can shop and combat enemies.
