Review: Best book on the future of online networks - I don't review many books, but I thought Chris Dixon's Read Write Own deserved some attention. This is nominally a book about web3 or crypto, but it's really more than that. It's (1) a history of our online age told through the lens of how networks work; (2) a well-argued diatribe against our current online lives, which are controlled by a handful of large companies and their CEOS; and (3) a well-grounded and -reasoned glimpse into our possible networked future. The book also provides some useful mental models, like the "casino versus the computer," that help to clarify the industry. The author also calls for regulation and ties the success of blockchain computing to American dynamism in the future. We need to encourage entrepreneurs and startups as part of the engine of the U.S. economy. He also provides a bunch of use-cases for the technology that go well beyond just speculative betting on tokens (which he decries). I also really enjoyed the author's style; Dixon has a knack for useful metaphors. And I think his digression into software as art is just lovely.
Review: The definitive book on crypto as a technology - There are a number of books out there about crypto as a political/monetary phenomenon, but there has yet to be a comprehensive book about crypto as a technology - until this one. This is THE book to read if you want to understand what crypto is from a technological perspective and how it could change the world. It reads at a level that is accessible enough for your mom who can’t even work the WiFi while simultaneously being technical enough for hardcore technology fans to also learn about crypto.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book on the future of online networks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The definitive book on crypto as a technology
*by R***S on January 31, 2024*

There are a number of books out there about crypto as a political/monetary phenomenon, but there has yet to be a comprehensive book about crypto as a technology - until this one. This is THE book to read if you want to understand what crypto is from a technological perspective and how it could change the world. It reads at a level that is accessible enough for your mom who can’t even work the WiFi while simultaneously being technical enough for hardcore technology fans to also learn about crypto.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written, with some typical narratives
*by K***C on August 15, 2024*

Dixon writes with great skill and clarity. He lays out known facts and benefits of blockchain tech and in that sense, this piece is a good intro for all Ethereum or Bitcoin enthusiasts. I have only two problems - the practical future use cases are old narratives (social, metaverse, daos, tokenomized startups etc.) which we already saw that it’s not working and that “technology” is not the problem here. Which leads me to a second problem - his thinking is overly influenced by the valley’s “monetization of interaction” needs. Which, again, we saw that is a limited affair. He missed the oportunity the more thouroughly define what could be the next building blocks of digital economy - more details about dolarizing the non-us users, tokenizing real world assets, composable ecommerce to name a few
