outcasts

FarCon

A few weeks ago @sum reached out to me with a crazy idea: an /outcasts x /books giveaway @ /farcon, funded by his (sizeable) degen allowance.

I instantly said yes.

I’m pledging to donate 100% of my S3 tips to the fund, currently worth $30k. That's a lot of books!

If this sounds cool, you can help by tipping below.

As part of the /books x /outcasts giveaway @ /farcon, I'm sourcing ~lots~ of used books from local businesses.

I've got a long list already but am always open to recommendations.

What are some titles I should buy to give away to attendees? 

What book do you wish someone had handed you and said "here, read this"

Building /bright-moments - minting onchain art IRL | /purple #15 | FID 129 #magikarp

dune, foundation, hichhikers guide to the galaxy, chip war, i haven't read hyperion but seems like a good fit as well lol

taking lists to used bookstores and hunting for the ones they have is such a fun game! 

did it with obama’s list for a few years. 

on that note, dreams from my father — the book he wrote in his early 30s before any fame— is fab. it contains so much power, like a light you can always turn on from within.

Amazing initiative. We want to contribute with it.

Lets start with 3736 $DEGEN and the recommendation to add a small percentage in foreign languages. We al speak english but would be awesome to find a book in Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.
