The growing malaise for metaverse hype is reminiscent of the AI sector directly before the launch of GPT-3.
Matthew Ball, former global head of strategy at Amazon Studios and author of the 2022 book “The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything,” is re-releasing the book under a new, more underwhelming title: “Building the Spatial Internet.”
To be clear, the book will still be called “The Metaverse,” but the spatial internet bit will replace the former language indicating that the metaverse would revolutionize everything.
Evidently, after two years, the revolution has either come and gone or remains impending. Either way, on July 23, the book's newest edition launches.
