"In 'Once Upon Tomorrow,' I present a vision of the Metaverse as a vast, inclusive, and transformative space.

This book is my invitation to creators, thinkers, and dreamers across the globe to join in shaping a future where technology amplifies human potential and fosters a world of limitless possibilities.
