Summary

This book offers targeted answers to a wide range of questions about the metaverse, covering topics such as "the gestation of the metaverse, the metaverse's golden age, the relationship between the virtual and the real, the theoretical framework of the metaverse, prospects for the metaverse, the technological foundation of the metaverse, the metaverse's industrial ecosystem, the current state of metaverse development, and the metaverse index system." It touches on nearly every aspect of the metaverse, transforming obscure and abstract concepts into 108 questions with answers. Each question also extends to many closely related knowledge points, making it easier and more comprehensive for readers to learn about and understand the metaverse.

Editor's review

In a question-and-answer format, 108 Questions About the Metaverse systematically maps out the metaverse's core concepts, technological architecture, and industrial ecosystem, giving readers a clear knowledge map. The author, Wang Hongbin, a longtime observer of cutting-edge technology, writes with both popular-science accessibility and forward-looking insight, making the book especially suitable for readers still at an early stage of understanding the metaverse. Rather than piling up technical details, the book uses 108 key questions to connect the knowledge chain from virtual reality and blockchain to digital twins, while also exploring the social, ethical, and governance challenges the metaverse may raise. Compared with similar titles, its strengths lie in its clear structure and plain language: each Q&A stands on its own yet connects to the others, so readers can read selectively according to interest. It is worth noting that the book's analysis of industry application cases is relatively macro-level, making it better suited as an introductory guide than as in-depth industry research material. At a time when talk of the metaverse is everywhere, this book offers a calm observational perspective, affirming the potential of technological innovation while reminding readers to guard against hype and bubble risks.

About the author

王鸿宾 Author

Wang Hongbin: publicly available information about the author is limited, and the library currently holds only one work by this name, 108 Questions About the Metaverse. Judging from the title and its common classification under “Computer Science,” the book addresses the emerging technological concept of the metaverse and is organized in a question-and-answer format, placing it in the category of popular science writing for general readers. The choice of a “108 questions” structure suggests an approach that emphasizes clear organization and point-by-point explanation, seeking to break down topics related to virtual reality, digital spaces, and related technology applications into readable, accessible questions and thereby lower the barrier to entry. Because reliable information on the author’s life, professional background, and other works is unavailable, it is not possible to describe his career or the full scope of his writing. On the basis of the available material alone, this work by Wang Hongbin can serve as an introductory reader for understanding basic concepts of the metaverse and is suitable for readers interested in computers and digital technology.
