BROUGHT TO YOU BY…

Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.

In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.

Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written, one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.

We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Token on GeckoTerminal, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

👉 The Token is now live on DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »

The Birth of a Nobel Icon

👉Marquee Event

On November 7, 1913, Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria, then a French colony. A novelist, journalist, and philosopher, Camus would rise to global prominence in the mid-20th century as one of the most influential literary voices of the modern age.

Best known for his 1942 novel The Stranger (L’Étranger), Camus explored themes of absurdism, alienation, rebellion, and the meaning of existence. He later received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 for illuminating the “problems of the human conscience” with “clarity and sincerity.”

📌 Why This Matters

Camus was more than just a writer, he was a moral force in a fractured world. Writing in the aftermath of World War II, totalitarianism, and colonial unrest, Camus challenged readers to face life’s absurdity head-on, without illusion or despair.

He stood apart from the existentialists like Sartre by promoting hope, revolt, and personal responsibility over nihilism or dogma. His famous concept of the “absurd hero” is embodied in characters who embrace life in the face of meaninglessness, none more iconic than Meursault in The Stranger.

Camus's political stances—especially his refusal to support revolutionary violence during the Algerian War—made him controversial, but also deeply principled.

🎯 How Much do you Know about Albert Camus?

Camus was the second youngest Nobel laureate in Literature, winning the prize at age 44. Yet he died tragically just three years later, in a car crash in 1960, with an unused train ticket in his pocket.

A posthumous manuscript, The First Man, revealed a tender portrait of his childhood and struggles with identity—French, but Algerian-born; philosopher, yet anti-system; atheist, but spiritually restless.

Even today, Camus’s works are widely studied in philosophy, literature, and political ethics courses around the world. His quotes—“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer”—still resonate.
