Metaverse, Virtual and Mixed Reality and Virtual Worlds
Prof. Maggi Savin-Baden and I are the series editors for Taylor & Francis' series of books on the Metaverse - simply titled The Metaverse Series. The following books have so far been published:
- The Metaverse: A Critical Introduction (by Maggi and I)
- The Metaverse for Learning and Education (by Maggi and I)
- The Military Metaverse (by Andy Fawkes and I)
Other books in the series written by experts in their field are in development - see the website at http://themetaverseseries.info/ for more details on the series. We aim to cover both “vertical” applications areas such as arts, digital twins, heritage, etc as well as cross-cutting issues such as identity, governance, psychology, ethics etc. See http://themetaverseseries.info/ for a provisional list, and get in touch if you think you could write a book for the series.
We've also set up a microverse where you can explore the books at: https://framevr.io/themetaverseseries-home
Alongside curating this series I'm also actively working on helping people make use of the more accessible, democratic virtual worlds such as Frame, and also looking how the metaverse can apply to wargaming.

There's also a Bob Book we did that illustrates Daden's various projects in Second Life - and even my experiences in some worlds before that! - https://www.bobbooks.co.uk/bookshop/dadens-adventures-in-second-life?uid=uipbcd0oja
