What do we know about the “Brave New World” NFTs?
Consensus 2023 participants received vouchers with free redemption codes to secure one of 10,000 e-books. Each NFT has one of 500 different covers designed by AI artists. As an added layer, the covers come in various rarities, giving collectors a chance to purchase their favorite pieces.
The collection will launch on the Algorand blockchain. The layer 1 chain is synonymous with high volume capacity and almost zero transaction fees.
Book.io co-founder Ben Illian states: “Algorand is a partner who shares our ethos. At Book.io, we believe that books should be immutable, immutable and live forever across borders. We chose Algorand because of its scalability, minimal transaction fees and almost zero carbon footprint. We want the whole world to be able to own their digital assets and digital books, making it impossible for central governments to ban or censor books at will.”

What is Book.io?
Book.io is a new type of e-book retailer. The company developed a technology called “decentralized encrypted assets” that allows digital assets such as NFTs to live entirely on the blockchain. By doing so, Book.io customers do not need to rely on centralized servers or intermediaries to view their media. In addition, this technology encrypts the books so that only the e-book owners can see their material.
The company strongly believes in the ethos of cryptocurrency. The choice of Huxley’s “Brave New World” is not a coincidence. The dystopian novel paints a terrifying portrait of what our future might look like – a world where citizens live under almost complete government control.
Not surprisingly, “Brave New World” is among the most banned books in history. By imprinting 10,000 digital copies of it on the blockchain, Book.io helps make sure the message isn’t lost anytime soon.
