TransHuman Code Authors, Carlos Moreira and David

Geneva and Zug Switzerland,
May 31, 2022 –
WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN), a leading
cybersecurity, IoT and AI company, announced that its CEO and
founder, Carlos Moreira and David Fergusson, Executive Managing
Director, M&A at Generational Equity, introduced their latest
project, The Code to The Metaverse at Davos
event.
In the bestselling 2019 book, The
transHuman Code, Carlos Moreira and David
Fergusson offered a carefully curated take on the essential
conversations that will determine if technology will upgrade or
undermine our humanity. Born at Davos event, through multiple
conversations and workshops, fittingly, it could be argued that the
book’s origin was decentralized.
“At unprecedented speed, the expanding frontier of the Metaverse
is now stretching well beyond its ‘Second Life’ gaming roots,” said
Mr. Fergusson at the launch event. “In the most dramatic
technological innovation of the last decade, we are truly at the
threshold of our future lives as we build the bridges between our
physical universe and the Metaverse.”
“However, the founding premise of The
transHuman Code still holds true as we venture
into the unknown of the Metaverse,” said Mr. Moreira. “Firstly,
that the Human is greatest technology of all and, most importantly,
that it is paramount to keep humans at the center of gravity in
this technological revolution.”
In a series of events at the 2022 annual Davos gathering of
business, policy and philanthropic leaders, Moreira and Fergusson
announced the sequel to The transHuman
Code with the creation of the new groundbreaking
multi-media platform - The Code to The Metaverse.
Through the interactive series, participants, viewers and readers
will be invited backstage into the laboratories and into the
Metaverse to experience their future in this 3D virtual realm.
To provide a glimpse into what’s coming, the authors engaged 6
Metaverse pioneers to discuss how the rapidly evolving gateways
into and tools for the Metaverse will transform our personal,
professional & social life experiences in ways unimagined.
Joining Carlos Moreira and David Fergusson were:
- Hossein
Rahnama, CEO, Flybits Inc.;
Professor, Toronto Metropolitan University and MIT Media Lab
- Roxy Liu, Director, Eureka Meta Capital
- David
Shrier, CEO & Co-Founder
Esme Learning Solutions; Professor, Imperial College
- Mrinal Manohar, CEO CasperLabs
- Gunter Pauli, Founder, Blue Economy, Director,

- Monsignor Lucio Adrian Ruiz, Secretary
Dicastery of Communication, Holy See
Offering exclusive insights and announcing dynamic initiatives,
the contributors all echoed a common theme: The Metaverse will have
a dramatic impact on how we socialize, work, and learn in the
future. At the forefront of the collective agreement, Carlos
Moreira and David Fergusson aligned with the esteemed technology
innovators on the premise that all people be able engage safely and
with confidence in the Metaverse so that we as individuals, are
respected and treated fairly on all virtual platforms.
