Collapse
Aleks Krotoski explores how Context Collapse in the social media has impacted our behaviour and well being and what it could mean if this becomes the norm in a potential metaverse.

Aleks Krotoski explores how Context Collapse came to be, the impact it has had on our behaviour and well being, and finds out what it could mean for a potential Metaverse. When the final barrier between offline and online life could be broken down for good, how do we create spaces where we are free to express the different parts of ourselves safely?
