Metaverse Missed Opportunities

A panel featuring a prominent author focused on global warming but largely sidestepped the pressing topic of the metaverse, which loomed over the event. The discussion felt disconnected, with the moderator failing to engage in the more provocative aspects of the author's work, leaving attendees wanting a deeper exploration of the intersection between climate issues and digital realities. The author cautioned against a metaverse driven by advertising, hinting at the need for a more thoughtful approach.
