She Wants Me To NFT
A Journey into the Social and Technological Revolution of Non-Fungible Tokens, by Sam Samie.
About this book
Non-fungible tokens arrived faster than most people could form an opinion about them, and the conversation split almost immediately into true believers and outright dismissal. This book sits between those two positions and explains what the technology actually does.
It starts from the blockchain fundamentals, works through how ownership is recorded and transferred, and then examines what that changes for artists, collectors, and the businesses building on top of it.
What it covers
- Blockchain fundamentals and how a token records ownership.
- Smart contracts and royalties, and why the resale mechanics matter.
- Case studies including CryptoPunks and automotive-industry experiments.
- Gaming, music, and film, where digital assets are becoming structural.
- Minting your own NFT, as a practical walkthrough.
- Scams and security, and the failure patterns that keep repeating.
- Legalities of digital ownership and what a token does not give you.
- Environmental impact and the arguments on both sides.
Who it is for
Digital artists, investors, developers, and anyone who wants to understand the mechanics before deciding what they think. The technical material is explained rather than assumed.
