An in-depth exploration of the power of blockchains to transform the internet. Today's internet is far from the initial promise of a free, democratic, and decentralized network, having fallen almost entirely under the control of a small group of companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook over the last decade. In Read Write Own, technology visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open internet to foster creativity and entrepreneurship can be salvaged with blockchain networks. Dixon separates this movement from cryptocurrency speculation, a distinction he calls "the computer vs. the casino."
