Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet

Chris’s book is a potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the Internet—and how that affects us all. He will walk us through the history of the internet, showing how it has gone through three major design eras: the first focused on democratising information (read), the second on democratising publishing (write), and the third on democratising ownership (own). We are on the cusp of the third era — own — so he explains the key concepts underlying it, including blockchains and digital services built on top of blockchains.
