Zuckerberg’s metaverse, China’s EV export strategy, and the ‘Amazonification’ of space

Every week, SmartCompany Plus brings you The Best of Everything, From Everywhere. 

If you’re after insight on business trends, you can read up on China’s EV strategy (targeting Japan and Europe), or what the ‘Amazonification’ of space means for the broader industry.

This week, I’ve also included two pieces that touch on more intangible ideas: Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘metaverse’ (imagine Facebook, but bigger, more encompassing, and 3D), and one of the most moving pieces of writing I’ve ever read, that discusses mortality and daily life.
