In Digital Mavericks: A Guide to Web3, NFTs, and Becoming the Main Character in the Next Internet Revolution, founder, NFT collector, and tech entrepreneur Debbie Soon delivers an exciting and eye-opening exploration of the seismic changes and tremendous opportunities that can be found at the intersection of creativity and technology.

This book is a career guide for the new age of the Internet, a world being reshaped by blockchain technology. Despite the countless fortunes Web3 has already created, it remains a space subject to both criticism and skepticism. Digital Mavericks is an easy-to-follow roadmap for those eager to play a part in shaping the future of our increasingly digital world. You'll also find:

• An explanation of the evolution of the Internet, the basics of how Web3 works and is being used today, and its historical significance at this moment in time.
• A step-by-step guide on how best to enter and navigate the Web3 space, from understanding and transferring your skillset to finding your community and staying level-headed through the noise.
• Predictions for the future and how we can best prepare ourselves for the impact of regulatory changes and generative AI on blockchain adoption.

An inspiring and insightful take on the Wild West of Web3, Digital Mavericks will prove invaluable for anyone interested in understanding the biggest technological revolution of our generation and how we can all work together in transforming the way we interact, transact, and collaborate with one another.
