Foresight consultant and Futurismic contributor Jamais Cascio has been busy, along with other like-minded folk, working on a project that attempts to examine the implications of the information and media landscape of the near-future – it’s called The Metaverse Roadmap Overview, and it’s available now. Jamais describes it as “the first attempt to synthesize current and emerging social, economic and technological trends around virtual worlds, immersive networks, and ubiquitous information.” Kind of like coming at science fiction from the other direction, really.
