Book as a Platform

Book as a Platform

The Platform is our software by which users interact with the system to create & digest Books.

Our unique approach is to use the metaphor of a Book to enable this.

Book Community

Beyond the Seed Narrative started on this site, are:

• Thought Leaders who write their own original Conscious Narrative books, thus spawning their own narrative webs.

• Conscious Storytellers who write their own Epic Tales books, thus spawning their own story webs.

• Coaches who create derivative works, such as commentaries or guidance manuals, again as books, spawning their coaching webs to guide community members, and

• Members who cultivate their personal lenses in the course of their life journey.

Book Contents

Each Book is available :

• online, with a pleasing interactive experience, and

• can be printed on demand.

All books are inter-connected at the level of web topic links, like a wikipedia, a book-pedia if you will.

Economics

Cultural Economy

The real objective of a Book is to build the Brand of the writer, and influence culture.

Culture is what we find ourselves immersed in at the societal level, the petri dish of our legacies and aspirations, and is something which we could influence if we had the tools to do so.

Culture is the consolidation of the brands of the various Thought Leaders and Storytellers in that space, and the propagation mechanisms available through coaches and communities.

The cultural economy is based on the interactions between individuals, and only indirectly based on monetary transactions.

Freely Available

All book content to be freely available on the Book Web, as the real objective is to build the Brand of the Author, not for immediate monetization.

In any case, just because the same content is available for free on the web does not preclude the sales of the same content in a beautiful eBook or physical format, since the target audience of books is for the discerning reader, vs the casual web reader.

By having freely available content the Book web will grow forever relevant and available.

The corpus and rights for the corpus will be available freely to anyone to create derivative works, to create more books on the Book Web. 

Book Engagement

Book writers engage with their readers by allowing them to "book" time slots for the writer's attention, hence also an Appointment Book!

Booking of time slots can be set by Book writers, and indicate what kind of interaction they are willing to engage eg to teach, work, chat, or simply hang out. 

This model would foster more engagement and thus coevolution.

Embedded Artworks

Artistic works are a key reflection of culture.

Each section in a Book contains snippets of some relevant original artistic work which can be clicked through into a portal from a collection of various artistic studios. 

High-quality snippets of relevant artistic works will be curated into the book to make a beautiful reading experience, and will be a great outlet for artists to scale the showcasing of their works in a novel, deep format. 

NFT's of these artworks can also provide tracking for downstream digital licensing. 

Trusted artists, and artists from trusted studios, could bid for placement of their art images into each section of the book, thus this is an ArtSense market (like AdSense) but for curated art only, that is, humans are required in the loop. 

Meme Licensing

Snippets of Art and Text from the Books can be licensed and tracked as they get used in the meme complex, competing with the memetic viruses that have proliferated, and will increase with AI.

Including NFT Art will make memes also beautiful.
