	In this paper, we have reviewed selected issues related to the metaverse concept, taking into account selected social, technological, and legal aspects. We focused on reviewing the newest literature on the metaverse topic published in the years 2020–2023. The database was gained through Google Scholar search, in order to check if any specific publishers or research areas are dominant among results provided by this search engine. The qualitative content analysis of the literature within the scope of technology, social sciences, and law, revealed the most promising and most threatening aspects of metaverse development and dissemination.
