Virtual Natives
How a New Generation is Using Technology to Revolutionize Work, Play, and Culture
Wiley, 2023
The definitive book on new tech, media, culture - and the kids evolving it.
Suddenly, and out of nowhere, we find ourselves bombarded from all sides by terms like Metaverse, VR, AR, NFTs, digital assets and collectibles. Crypto, DeFI, Web3, ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALL-E now dominate the common lexicon.
We’re living through what is arguably one of the most exciting, confusing, and powerful social moments in the history of humanity, the shift from the Digital Age to the Virtual Age. This shift is being driven by technology, and the people who are leading it are the ones who know it best: the Virtual Natives.
This book will introduce you to the Virtual Native cohort and mindset, decipher their socio-cultural and economic experiences, and unpack their expectations of companies looking to engage, market, employ, or parent them.
To understand the future, read Virtual Natives.
