Summary

This is a richly illustrated, content-packed book that takes you from beginner to proficient, distilling the essence of the metaverse and particularly suited to elite readers with limited time who demand high efficiency and quality.

The book covers metaverse business opportunities, the industry-chain ecosystem, six major technology systems, projections of development stages, metaverse, metaverse, and the construction progress of the metaverse at home and abroad.

Its standout feature is the multidimensional organization and four long foldout charts worth treasuring: the history of human technological development, the history of IT development, the history of the Internet, and the history of blockchain. Once we truly understand these remarkable histories, we truly understand the boundless future of the metaverse — and at the same time we are among the first to hold a passport to that future.

Editor's review

As one of the earlier books in China to systematically explore the concept of the metaverse, The Metaverse Token derives its value from offering a relatively complete cognitive framework. Mr. Xing Jie does not come from a technical background; he approaches the subject from the perspective of industrial strategy, which allows the book to strike a balance between technological fervor and commercial hype. The book surveys the metaverse's technological foundations, industrial ecosystem, economic models, and potential impacts. While its depth on specific technical details is limited, it excels in breadth and systematicity, making it highly useful to readers seeking to quickly build a macro-level understanding.

It is worth noting that the book was published in 2021, in the early days of the metaverse concept's explosion, and some of its predictions and case studies have already been overtaken by the industry's rapid evolution. Yet this is precisely what gives early explorations their historical value. Readers can treat the book as a "time capsule" that reveals how industry players collectively imagined and strategically positioned the metaverse at the time. Its discussions of core issues such as virtual identity, digital assets, and decentralized governance remain illuminating today.

As an introductory general-interest work, the book is plainly written and clearly structured, avoiding overly technical language. However, readers expecting cutting-edge technical analysis or rigorous academic argumentation may find it lacking. It is best read alongside more specialized works published later, so as to view the evolution of the metaverse concept critically.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Beginner readers curious about the metaverse concept but lacking systematic understanding
  • Professionals in digital cultural creativity, internet strategy, or innovation investment

Not a good fit for

  • Hardcore developers seeking the latest technical implementation details or code-level analysis
  • Theoretical researchers expecting rigorous philosophical reflection or in-depth social critique

Reading tips

  1. Start by browsing the table of contents to build a framework, then choose chapters of interest for deeper reading
  2. While reading, distinguish between the industry visions described in the book and current technological reality
  3. It is advisable to follow the latest developments in the metaverse field in recent years for comparison

About the author

邢杰 Author

Xing Jie is a Chinese author focused on cutting-edge technology and business trends, with four titles held in the collection. Based on currently available public information, details about his personal background, nationality, and education are limited, making a full biography difficult to outline; his writing, however, centers fairly consistently on emerging topics such as the metaverse, AI-generated content, and carbon neutrality. His representative works include Metaverse Power: Building a New Aesthetic World, The AIGC Business Guide, The Metaverse and Carbon Neutrality, and Metaverse Tokens, most of which fall under finance and management. His writing tends to discuss technical concepts alongside industrial applications and business models in accessible language, aimed at general readers and practitioners who wish to understand new trends, and offers some reference value in popularizing these subjects.

赵国栋 Author

Zhao Guodong is a Chinese book author about whom limited public information is available. His works span several fields, including educational technology, finance and the metaverse, and historical figures. Judging from the eight titles in the library, he was an early writer on micro-lessons, MOOCs, and flipped classrooms, producing beginner and advanced tutorials on instructional design and practice for teachers and teaching administrators. He later turned to the digital economy and emerging technologies, writing on blockchain, big data, and the intelligent economy, as well as several popular books on the concept of the metaverse, including one on its application in government affairs. He has also written a biographical work on Emperor Taizu of Song. Overall, his writing emphasizes popularization and practical guidance, closely follows trends in technology and education, and covers a broad range of subjects, making it suitable as introductory reading for general readers and practitioners.

徐远重 Author

Xu Yuanzhong is a Chinese author whose work focuses on the intersections of emerging technology with finance and education. Public information about him is limited, and details such as his nationality, birth and death years, and educational background are not clearly documented. Three of his works are currently included in the collection: Metaverse, Metaverse Tokens, and Metaverse Education. Their subjects center on the concept of the metaverse and its applications in asset forms and educational settings, indicating that his writing emphasizes accessible explanations of frontier technology trends and their practical extensions. The three works unfold around the same theme, forming a progressive structure from concept to tokens to education, and reflecting the author's sustained thinking about how new technologies enter economic and educational systems. His style leans toward conceptual clarification and discussion of paths forward, aimed at general readers, and has generated some discussion among readers in finance and education.

易欢欢 Author

Yi Huanhuan is a writer on finance and technology about whom little public information is available; four works are currently known, including General Artificial Intelligence, The Metaverse, Metaverse Investment and Metaverse Tokens. Judging from these titles, his writing centers on artificial intelligence and the metaverse, two of the most closely watched technological and commercial themes of recent years, and moves from the concepts themselves to more practical matters such as investment and tokens. In common classifications his books are placed under finance and personal finance, suggesting that readers regard them as accessible trend and investment reading rather than purely technical monographs. On the available evidence, his prose aims to explain emerging concepts clearly and plainly, helping general readers grasp the business logic and asset opportunities behind technological waves. Since his biography, education and professional background are not found in public sources, no speculation is offered here; his profile is presented solely through the subjects and categories of his works.
