Prof. Maggi Savin-Baden and I are the series editors for Taylor & Francis' new series of books on the Metaverse - simply titled The Metaverse Series. In September 2024 we published the first 2 books in the series (jointly written by Maggi and I) entitled The Metaverse: A Critical Introduction and The Metaverse for Learning and Education, and Andy Fawkes and I have just submitted The Military Metaverse into production process. most of my efforts in the VW/VR/Metaverse space are directed towards writing and curating this series. More info at http://themetaverseseries.info/, and we already have about another half dozen authors signed up to deliver further books. 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.
