Humane Metaverse
The Metaverse, an emerging digital universe that blurs the boundaries between reality and virtuality, offers a vision of a future in which human interaction transcends physical limitations.
In the volume "Humane Metaverse. Reflections on Self, Education, Organizations and Society", edited by the Director of HTLab, Giuseppe Riva, and Professor Daniela Villani, and published by the publishing house of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Vita e Pensiero, the many facets of the Metaverse are explored, examining the landscape of challenges and opportunities it presents.
The book delves into the difficulties society faces in adapting to the Metaverse, including the digital divide, ethical dilemmas, levels of trust, and the potential erosion of social and physical reality. Amid the allure of limitless creativity, questions arise about the very essence of human experience: identity, empathy, social relationships, life satisfaction, and the nature of reality itself.
The Metaverse, with all its complexities, challenges us to redefine the boundaries of human interaction, urging us to proceed with care as we embrace the infinite possibilities it offers. As we venture "Towards a Humane Metaverse", we must navigate the intricate weave of technology and humanity, shaping a future in which the virtual realm enhances—rather than diminishes—the richness of the human experience.
