JAKARTA - The scientific fiction book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley will soon be changed to NFT (Non Fungible Token). The collaboration between the Algorand Foundation and Book.io will bring the 10,000 classic electronic books into the blockchain.
Each NFT will have one of 500 book covers designed by different AI artists (Artificial Intelligence), with multiple covers having different levels of scarcity. This collaboration aims to provide a better book reading experience and provide collectors with the opportunity to buy their favorite works.
At the Consensus 2023 event, participants received a voucher with a free pick-up code to secure one of the 10,000 electronic books. The collection will be launched on the Algorand blockchain, known for its high volume capacity and nearly zero transaction fees. In addition, blockchain technology also allows the book to continue to live forever in various parts of the world.
Bookio is a new eBook retailer who has developed a "decentralized encrypted asset" technology that allows digital assets like NFT to fully live on blockchain. With this technology, Book.io subscribers don't need to rely on centralized or intermediate servers to view their media. In addition, this technology encrypts books so that only eBook owners can see their material.
Reported by NFT News Pro, Book.io chose Algorand because the platform has a high scale, minimal transaction costs, and nearly zero carbon footprint. Book.io and Algorand share the view that books must be irreversible, eternal, and residing around the world without restrictions.
Book.io's Brave New World options are also said to be related to current cryptocurrency conditions. The dystopian novel depicts a fairly frightening picture of the future where citizens live under nearly full scrutiny from the government. It's no surprise that Brave New World is one of the most banned books in history.
By printing 10,000 digital copies on the blockchain, Book.io helps ensure that the book's message won't disappear in a short time. The collaboration between the Algorand Foundation and Book.io is expected to build trust and provide a better experience for readers and collectors around the world.
