Description
In Tokens: The Future of Money in the Age of the Platform, Rachel O’Dwyer provides a comprehensive examination of how tokens are fundamentally transforming our understanding of money and value. Moving beyond cryptocurrency hype, O’Dwyer investigates the broader implications of tokenization across financial systems, digital art, and social platforms.
The book explores how tokens function as a new form of digital representation that enables unprecedented control, programmability, and commodification. O’Dwyer analyzes both the revolutionary potential and concerning risks of token-based economies, including issues of inequality, corporate power, and financial stability.
Drawing on history, technology, and critical theory, this essential work demonstrates why understanding tokens matters for anyone concerned with the future of money, technology, and society. Whether examining blockchain, NFTs, or platform economies, O’Dwyer reveals how tokenization is reshaping power structures and economic relationships in the digital age.
