Creator Economy & Future of Work

This is a selection of reference materials that I have come across while researching and learning about the creator economy and Web 3.0 technologies.
The purpose of listing them here is to serve as a guide or starting point on your learning journey. However, they serve as recommended reading and listening only. There’s an incredible amount of other resource options available out there.
Please do your own homework before you invest money or time in using any of the technologies mentioned in these resources..
