Read Write Own : Building the Next Era of the Internet by Chris Dixon

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER`A compelling vision of where the internet should go and how to get there.' Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAIThe promise of the internet has been stolen. Over the last decade, a handful of giant companies like Facebook and Google have seized control of the web - sapping its dynamism and taking its profits for themselves. But there is a way to take it back. Here, a leading Silicon Valley investor argues that blockchains - the radically free and democratic new type of software design that underpins `web3' - could return financial and decision-making power to the internet's users. For the first time, we won't just read and write on the internet - we will own it, too. `A must for anyone who wants to better understand the real potential of blockchains and web3.' Bob Iger, CEO, Disney`A refreshing and radical new take at a time when we need fresh thinking more than ever.' Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind and author of The Coming Wave`The most elegant and sophisticated argument for blockchain to date . . . Shines as a history of computing and the internet.'
