Summary

This set consists of three volumes: The Metaverse: Meta-Assets and Web 3.0; The Metaverse: Meta-Humans and the Ideal State; and The Metaverse: An Illustrated Guide to Meta-Technology Blockchain. Through the Three Laws of the Metaverse, the Grand Unified Equation, the Law of Entropy Increase, Web 3.0, trillion-yuan assets, meta-humans, and blockchain civilization, it constructs the first great edifice of the metaverse.

Editor's review

This three-volume set unfolds around the conceptual system, asset forms, and technological foundation of the metaverse, attempting to link meta-assets, Web 3.0, meta-humans, and blockchain civilization into a single narrative through self-devised frameworks such as the "Three Laws," the "Grand Unified Equation," and the "Law of Entropy Increase." Its value lies not in providing standard answers but in presenting an effort by a Chinese author to actively construct an explanatory framework for the metaverse, allowing readers to observe how metaverse discourse is generated in the Chinese-language context. The book's illustrated treatment of Web 3.0, meta-assets, and blockchain technology lowers the threshold of some technical concepts and can serve as an entry point for understanding related buzzwords. Readers should maintain a critical awareness: the laws and equations in the book are the author's theoretical constructs, not academic consensus, and can be treated as an inspiring thinking tool rather than a definitive conclusion. The three-volume structure suits reading topic by topic and also serves as material for seminars or reading groups, enabling critical dialogue around concepts such as "meta-humans" and the "ideal state."

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Beginner readers interested in metaverse and Web 3.0 concepts who want to quickly build an overall understanding
  • University teachers and students seeking discussion topics for classes or reading groups
  • Practitioners concerned with digital assets and blockchain applications who want to understand related domestic discourse
  • General readers who like illustrated technical concepts and prefer structured frameworks

Not a good fit for

  • Researchers expecting rigorous academic consensus or peer-reviewed theory
  • Readers seeking specific investment guides or project implementation plans
  • Readers strongly skeptical of self-devised laws and equation-based frameworks

Reading tips

  1. Read the illustrated blockchain volume first to build technical intuition, then move on to meta-assets and meta-humans for smoother understanding.
  2. Mark the author's self-devised concepts while reading, distinguish authorial constructs from recognized knowledge, and form your own judgment.
  3. The three volumes can be read over three weeks; after each week, write a paragraph of questioning or extended reflection to avoid passively accepting the framework.
  4. For a reading group, set debate topics around questions such as "Are meta-humans possible?" and "Where are the boundaries of meta-assets?"

FAQ

Are the Three Laws and the Grand Unified Equation in the book recognized academic theories?
No. These are self-devised frameworks proposed by the author to organize the metaverse narrative; they are personal theoretical constructs, not academic consensus. Readers may treat them as clues to understanding the author's thinking but should not cite them as definitive conclusions; maintaining critical awareness while reading is sufficient.
Do the three volumes need to be read in order?
Strict order is not necessary. The three volumes focus respectively on meta-assets and Web 3.0, meta-humans and the ideal state, and illustrated blockchain technology, so readers can start according to interest. To build an overall picture, it is advisable to read the illustrated technology volume first, then the asset and meta-human sections, for a more natural conceptual flow.
Can readers without a blockchain background understand the book?
Yes. The book includes a separate illustrated blockchain volume that visualizes technical concepts, making the threshold relatively friendly. Some self-devised terms still require slow reading; it is advisable to skip unfamiliar concepts first and return to them after finishing the technology volume for better results.

About the author

罗金海 Author

Luo Jinhai is an author about whom limited public information is available; two of his works are currently held in the collection, covering the fields of finance and general computing. His representative work, Everyone Understands Stablecoins, explains the concepts and operating logic of stablecoins, a segment of the digital currency world, to general readers and belongs to popular finance writing. Metaverse II (3 volumes) centers on the metaverse, an emerging technology theme, and is a longer work with the flavor of a computing and technology title. These two books suggest that his writing tends to turn highly specialized and rapidly changing subjects into accessible reading for a broad audience, balancing conceptual explanation with practical application, and that his topics stay close to current market and technology trends. Because details such as his birth and death years, nationality, and professional experience are not recorded in the collection, his biography remains unclear, and readers mainly encounter his writing through the works mentioned above; further material may be added later.
