Near Futures, Far-Fetched Author Andy Blood had the following to say about the works:
I was able to create something unique for this series of books by working very closely with Liz Izmailova, Nicole Upchurch, and the CENNZnet team. What we created is not just easily readable, approachable, and enjoyable stories, but stories that themselves are embedded in the NFT itself.”
Meanwhile, CENNZnet CMO Nicole Upchurch commended Andy’s work in the series of books: “While many others have been narrowly focused on the Metaverse, Andy took the time to focus on the multiverse. We are proud to be associated with this new, innovative, and first-of-its-kind literary event that explores the worlds in which different versions of you experience different versions of your life.”
Near Future, Far-Fetched follows the first collaboration between CENNZnet and Andy Blood in the project ‘Full Bleed’. The project took place in September and was considered a great success by thought leaders, technologists, and the Web3 Community.
