The Everything Token. By Steve Kaczynski and Scott Duke Kominers

 Here's a look into a possible future of the web (but it's still available in hardcover):

The Everything Token.  HOW NFTS AND WEB3 WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY WE BUY, SELL, AND CREATE.  By Steve Kaczynski and Scott Duke Kominers

"A Harvard Business School professor and a16z crypto research partner and a career marketer and Web3 entrepreneur demystify the coming digital revolution, showing how NFTs will transform our online and offline interactions."

“NFTs were a mystery to me. Thanks to this book, both the economics of NFTs and how businesses can use them are now in sharp focus and no longer mysterious. It helps, too, that the book was so much fun to read!”

— Paul Milgrom, Shirley and Leonard Ely Professor of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University and Nobel Laureate in Economics"


“You can’t ask for savvier or more enthusiastic guides to the potential of NFTs than Kaczynski and Kominers.”
— Alvin E. Roth, Craig and Susan McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford University and Nobel Laureate in Economics

Scott Kominers speaks about Strategy-Proofness, Investment Efficiency and Marginal Returns -- video

Here's a video of a recent lecture by Scott Kominers: Strategy-Proofness, Investment Efficiency and Marginal Returns

"In this presentation, Scott Duke Kominers noted that mechanism design tends to examine only the market clearing stage. The field treats human capital as a fixed or predetermined input, rather than a dynamic range of possibilities. His own model uncovers a relationship between three variables: strategy-proofness, investment efficiency, and marginal rewards."
