It's no accident that many people who appreciate VR and AR are also science fiction fans. Technology has imitated art and the other way around, with science fiction writers coining terms like "virtual reality" and "the metaverse," and tech companies using science fiction writers as in-house futurists and advisers.
If you're looking to immerse yourself in books with significant AR and VR presence, this is the reading list for you.
