In episode 2, Ryan and Azeem decided to do something a bit different. Last week Ryan spoke a bit about how what we're doing is related to the metaverse, and as promised we wanted to deliver an in depth episode on exactly what that means because it's what we intend to build.
During this episode, Ryan references quite a lot of people and quite a lot of papers, articles, etc. If you’d like to dig deeper, he’s created a list of links for you to pursue at your own leisure.
