The Metaverse — Matthew Ball | How It Will Revolutionize Everything (Hardcover, Ukrainian Edition)

Explore the dawn of a new digital frontier with The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything by Matthew Ball, translated into Ukrainian and released by Artbooks in 2024. Spanning 448 pages in a durable hardcover format, this edition delves into what the metaverse is — not just as a buzzword, but as the convergence of many technologies (VR/AR, spatial computing, digital ownership, decentralized platforms) that together may fundamentally change how we work, play, socialize, and build economies.

Ball examines the technical foundations needed for the metaverse (networks, hardware, software, identity systems), the potential societal impacts (privacy, inclusion, regulation, mental health), and the economic models that could drive or hinder its growth. He also asks critical questions: who will benefit, who might be left behind, and how power dynamics may shift in this immersive future.

For the Ukrainian reader, this is a timely book that opens up discussions about digital sovereignty, innovation policy, and the ethical implications of virtual life. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, policymaker, business leader, or simply curious about what comes next, this book anchors imagination in rigorous argument — providing both a roadmap and a cautionary tale for the years ahead.
