Book.io and the Algorand Foundation have collaborated to bring 10,000 copies of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” in eBook format to the Algorand blockchain. This partnership represents a significant breakthrough in the Web3 space as it enables readers to truly own a digital version of the 1932 masterpiece for the first time.
This initiative will provide 10,000 lucky owners of these eBooks with the option to read, trade, gift, or sell them in a decentralized manner through Book.io’s web reader or mobile apps. These eBooks will be distributed via vouchers containing free redemption codes at Consensus 2023 in Austin, Texas, between April 26-28, 2023. The eBook will be distributed as NFTs that feature unique cover designs created by an AI artist with varying degrees of rarity.
Book.io Co-Founder Ben Illian stated:
“Algorand is a partner who shares our ethos. At Book.io, we believe that books should be unchangeable, immutable, and live forever across borders.”
According to Illian, they chose Algorand due to its scalability, low transaction fees, and minimal carbon footprint. Illian stated that their aim is to enable people all around the globe to own their digital assets and books and eliminate the possibility of centralized entities banning or censoring books at their discretion.
According to Staci Warden, the CEO of the Algorand Foundation, Web3 has the great advantage of allowing knowledge to originate from any source and be within reach of everyone. Warden expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Book.io to introduce a new wave of knowledge-seekers to Web3 through Algorand’s secure and decentralized network.
Warden stated:
“So, it is only fitting that we support the release of one of the most banned books of all time.”
Algorand is the world’s most advanced Layer 1 blockchain, and it stands out for its unparalleled ability to unleash the potential of a borderless global economy. It offers transaction speeds on par with traditional finance, instantaneous finality, almost zero transaction costs, and operates around the clock.
