The book explores the challenges faced by human society in adapting to the Metaverse, including the digital divide, ethical dilemmas, the level of trust, and the potential erosion of social and physical reality. Amid the allure of limitless creativity, questions arise about the very essence of the human experience: identity, empathy, social relationships, satisfaction in life, and the nature of reality itself.

As we venture "Towards a Human Metaverse", we must navigate the intricate intertwining of technology and humanity, shaping a future where the virtual realm enriches, rather than diminishes, the richness of the human experience.
