Abstract:

Risk is an important aspect that cannot be ignored in the development of the metaverse.In the process of metacosmosis, the dark side of the metacosmos is gradually exposed, such as thesuperposition of multiple risks, the formation of information cocoon, the disintegration of value identityand the social evolutionary divergence. All of these require us to break through the physical, information,cognitive and social domains of social governance and control. The risk of the metaverse provides newinspiration for the construction of the metaverse libraries. In the future, library can explore new roles withthe objectives of information circulation, scene shaping, cognitive guidance and cultural security.
