After more than two decades as an anchor for ABC News, an on-air panic attack sent Dan Harris’s life in a new direction: he became a dedicated meditator and, to some, even a guru. But then an anonymous survey of his family, friends and colleagues turned up some brutal feedback — he was still kind of a jerk.

Den digitala antropologen Josephine Eyre argumenterar för att omfamna metaversen som en uppslukande mötesplats som kan hjälpa till att återuppliva kreativitet och kommunikation.
