Order in the Metaverse

This book takes a holistic and dialectical approach to examining the six revolutionary changes that the metaverse has brought to law and society, as well as the principles of order in digital existence. The author elaborates and analyzes the new entities and interactions in various types of metaverses from different levels such as philosophical foundations, economic mechanisms, individual behaviors, ecosystem, institutional innovation, and legal practice. A series of thought-provoking and research-worthy phenomena are presented, and twelve fundamental propositions regarding the metaverse and legal norms are summarized. On the journey of humanity's large-scale migration to virtual space, this compact booklet can serve as a guidepost and compass to a certain extent. Even when balancing freedom and security, most people will remain rooted in the real society, and they can also find interfaces or keys to navigate between multiple worlds from it.
