What exactly is the metaverse? How has the war in Ukraine taught us more about cyber warfare? Newt\u2019s guest is Dr. Joshua Sipper. He is a Professor of Cyber Warfare Studies at the Air Force Cyber College and author of the new book, \u201cThe Cyber Meta-Reality: Beyond the Metaverse.\u201d\xa0\nNewt's World\nWhat is the Metaverse?\n\xa0May 26 2022\xa0\xa0\n\xa0\nAbout the Book- \nThe Cyber Meta-Reality: Beyond the Metaverse\nby Joshua A. Sipper\nAs one begins to explore the many complexities of quantum computing, nanotechnology, and AI, it becomes clear that there is an underlying reality within cyberspace that is comprised of other realities and that these realities all have their own biomes, ecosystems, and microbiomes built on information, energy, and human creative reality and potential. It is clear that there has not been much research on this , especially the piece dealing with the cyber microbiome, which looks at the part of the iceberg that is \u201cunder the surface\u201d and makes up most of cyberspace, much like how our human microbiome is many orders of magnitude larger than our human cells. The microbiome is extremely important from the perspective of how to treat diseases in humans, especially bacterial infections. The same is true for how to treat \u201cdiseases\u201d in the cyber meta-reality. Thus, knowing all we can about the cyber meta-reality, biome, and microbiome is absolutely necessary in ensuring this world\u2019s growth, care, and flourishing.
