  We live in a capitalist world in which supply determines demand. If you reduce supply or increase demand, society will be obliged to accept scarcity, whether genuine or perceived. On February 16, 2021, the artist Beeple sold his Everyday: The First 5000 Days for a record-breaking $69.3 million in cryptocurrency at Christie's auction house. No auction house had before authorized the sale of digital files created on blockchain technology, nor had they ever accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Bitcoin shares have already climbed to over $24,000 during the Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, a 224 percent increase. Two months after Beeple's historic art auction, Bitcoin set a new high of more than $64,000 per share on April 14, 2021. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to NFTs, new cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain.Visual artists and musicians, writers, videographers, and others in the creative industries became aware of NFTs and the benefits they could provide to the art community. While the physical world appeared to be shutting down, the digital cosmos survived, grew, and entered new paradigms. Using the Internet as a revenue source during a global pandemic was a clever, new, and modern way for artists to continue their livelihoods. Artists have been able to advertise themselves to a wider audience as the NFT industry increases and become more mainstream, even if they have a minimal history in digital arts. Well-known public figures also benefit, perhaps reducing financial chances for lesser artists. Major brand familiarity and high-profile influencers encourage transactions across large corporations. Celebrities are now not only producing limited edition NFTs but also branding their own "social money." Social currency is a type of cryptocurrency released by a brand, community, or influencer to make their fans feel important and a part of their particular fandom.This book examines the technical underpinnings of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, notably

  The Cheating Cell - How...

  This audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow offers a fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cancer
  
  When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don't necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked, for the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer's evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary treatments.
  
  Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unicellular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of control, giving rise to cancer. Aktipis illustrates how evolution has paved the way for cancer's ubiquity, and why it will exist as long as multicellular life does. Even so, she argues, this doesn't mean we should give up on treating cancer—in fact, evolutionary approaches offer new and promising options for the disease's prevention and treatments that aim at long-term management rather than simple eradication. Looking across species—from sponges and cacti to dogs and elephants—we are discovering new mechanisms of tumor suppression and the many ways that multicellular life-forms have evolved to keep cancer under control. By accepting that cancer is a part of our biological past, present, and future—and that we cannot win a war against evolution—treatments can become smarter, more strategic, and more humane.
  
  Unifying the latest research from biology, ecology, medicine, and social science, The Cheating Cell challenges us to rethink cancer's fundamental nature and our relationship to it.

  Propositions about artificial intelligence are being debated seriously in the 21st Century, but machines, unlike plants, are not even living organisms.
  So, are plants sentient beings, like humans? Do they feel? Can they communicate?
  Plant sentience is a subject that has intrigued mankind over the ages - from the ancient Greeks, Plato and Aristotle, through to modern day philosophers and psychologists.
  In this extraordinary book, Australia's Dr Terence McMullen presents an engaging, systematic and thorough study of plant psychology.
  The aim of this work is to bring together and organize the contentions of serious students of plant life who argue that there are objective grounds for plant psychology.
  Chaste Mimosa: The Psychology of Plants is a compelling and essential book for all thinkers, students and teachers of psychology, philosophy, physiology, plus all disciplines related to the study of plants.

  Infinity and our Unbounded...

  The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
  Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
  It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
  Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
  We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
  This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.
