“A fascinating, provocative case that the metaverse will not merely transform our virtual experience—it may actually enrich the quality of our lives” (Adam Grant)—from the visionary co-founder of one of today’s most innovative technology companies “Mind-expanding . . . This important book offers a highly persuasive argument that a new kind of virtual world, the metaverse, marks a profound new stage in this long human quest for fulfillment through creation.”—Chris Anderson, Head of TED The concept of “the metaverse” has exploded in the public consciousness, but its contours remain elusive. Is it merely an immersive virtual reality playground, one that Facebook and other platforms will angle to control? Is it simply the next generation of massive multiplayer online games? Or is it something more revolutionary? As Herman Narula shows, the metaverse is the latest manifestation of an ancient human tendency: the act of worldbuilding. From the Egyptians, whose conception of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans, whose passion for a game inspires extreme behavior, humans have long sought to supplement their day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alternative experiences. Rooting his vision in history and psychology, Narula argues that humans’ intrinsic need for autonomy, accomplishment, and connection can best be met in virtual “worlds of ideas,” where users have the chance to create and exchange meaning and value. The metaverse is both the growing set of fulfilling digital experiences—ranging from advanced gaming to concerts and other entertainment events and even to virtual employment—and the empowering framework that allows these spaces to become “networks of useful meaning.” Bloomberg Intelligence recently predicted that the metaverse will become an $800 billon industry by 2024. But its implications, argues Narula, are far more awe-inspiring than as a spigot of cash. The arrival of the metaverse marks the beginning of a new age of exploration—not outward, but inward—with the potential to reshape society and open the door to a new understanding of the human species and its capabilities. Rigorously researched and passionately argued, Virtual Society will be a provocative and essential guide for anyone who wants to go beyond superficial headlines to understand the true contours and potential of our virtual future.

Perfect After-Sun Lotion
This lotion feels amazing after being out in the sun all day. It keeps my skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy, and the scent is light and tropical. I also love the subtle glow it gives my skin. Great size for keeping in a beach bag or taking on vacation. Definitely recommend if you want your tan to last longer and your skin to feel moisturized.

Smells Devine
I got this Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion to use after long beach days this past summer, and it quickly became part of my routine. It feels soothing on the skin after sun exposure and absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy layer.
What I noticed most is how well it helps maintain my tan. My color seemed to last longer and fade more evenly when I consistently used it. I even saw a difference when I was using tanning beds — my skin looked more hydrated, which made the tan appear richer and less patchy.
The scent is another highlight. It has that classic tropical fragrance that instantly smells like summer vacation — warm, beachy, and nostalgic without being overpowering.
I’ll definitely be repurchasing before my upcoming vacation because it makes such a noticeable difference in how my skin looks and feels after sun exposure.

Better than expected!
I was pleasantly suprised by this lotion. I bought it to help maintain my self tanning lotion, and also for days after being in the sun. The lotion is not too thick and not sticky. The scent is tropical and nice, bit it’s not too strong. I will buy this lotion again.
