Author Monica Ayad has unveiled her latest book, "From Imagination to Reality: Exploring the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence in Media and Other Fields," at the 57th Cairo International Book Fair. The work arrives as a timely roadmap for the rapidly evolving digital landscape of 2026.
In her book, Ayad analyzes the leap from early virtual environments like VR Chat to the sophisticated "Seventh Generation" of journalism. She provides an in-depth look at how AI, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) have forced a radical evolution in media, introducing readers to specialized fields such as immersive, drone, and data journalism.
Beyond media, the book explores the socio-economic shift where AI integration has become a primary indicator of national growth. As a highlight of this year’s fair, Ayad’s work offers critical insights into how these technologies have transitioned from futuristic concepts into essential tools for healthcare, education, and the global economy.
