This book offers a potent exploration of how blockchains can reshape the future of the internet and its impact on society, penned by influential technology entrepreneur Chris Dixon. The current internet starkly contrasts its original promise of decentralization and democratic innovation, having become dominated by a few major companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. Dixon argues that the vision of an open network for creativity and entrepreneurship can be revived through blockchain technology. He distinguishes this movement from cryptocurrency speculation, referring to it as “the computer vs. the casino.” With clear and engaging prose, Dixon draws on his 25 years of experience in the software industry to outline three distinct eras of the internet: the “read” era, where early networks democratized information; the “read-write” era, where corporate networks democratized publishing; and the current “read-write-own” era, or web3, characterized by blockchain networks empowering users and communities rather than just corporations. This book is essential for internet users, business leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs seeking to understand the past and future of the internet. It presents a vision for a better online experience and a practical guide for navigating and shaping the future.
