We love books, both printed and digital, and trust in their future. In creative dialogue with the exciting new world of Web3, analog paper and digital screen engage in an unexpected affair and inspire us to create fresh forms of storytelling, surprising artwork and digital collectibles.
True to the credo, everything should be at once surprising and inevitable.
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity.

books & art
Contrary to many visions and warnings digitization has not replaced the printed word. Quite the reverse, the more digitization progresses, the more glamorous the history of the printed book appears. Books are full of ideas & inspiration.
At the same time, new technologies allow us to enter into a closer relationship and an open exchange with our readers. At bookbridge, we are therefore exploring stunning new possibilities of expanding our books into the colorful, blockchain-based world of Web3 and experiment with connections between the physical and digital content worlds, surprising our audience with simply marvelous fine art digital collectibles, secured by one-of-a-kind NFTs.
