Chapter Chapter 1 in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), 2022, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explains how recent phenomena, such as the pandemic and the diffusion of teleworking, have speeded up the adoption of quite a few technological innovations. Among these, the so-called Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)—that is, the cryptographic ownership certificates of digital objects (e.g., artworks, music plays, fashion products)—have the capacity to revolutionize the e-commerce as we know it. NFTs might re-shape consumers’ relationships with products and, in turn, with their own extended-selves, by changing their ideas of possession in an increasingly dematerialized world.
