Description:
A potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the internet—and how that affects us all—from influential technology entrepreneur and startup investor Chris Dixon
"A must for anyone who wants to better understand the real potential of blockchains and web3."—Robert Iger, CEO, Disney
"A compelling vision of where the internet should go and how to get there."—Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI
The internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, dematic network of innovation, connection, and freedom. In the past decade, it has fallen almost entirely under the control of a very small group of companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn't have to die and can, in fact, be saved with blockchain networks. He separates this movement, which aims to provide a solid foundation for everything from social networks to artificial intelligence to virtual worlds, from cryptocurrency speculation —a distinction he calls "the computer vs. the casino."
With lucid and compelling prose— drawing from a 25-year career in the software industry—Dixon shows how the internet has undergone three distinct eras, bringing us to the critical moment we're in today. The first was the "read" era, in which early networks dematized information. In the "read-write" era, corporate networks dematized publishing. We are now in the midst of the "read-write-own" era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations.
Read Write Own is a must-read for anyone—internet users, business leaders, creators, entrepreneurs—who wants to understand where we've been and where we're going. It provides a vision for a better internet and a playbook to navigate and build the future.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of illustrations and charts from the book.
