A potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the internetand how that affects us allfrom influential technology entrepreneur and startup investor Chris DixonA must for anyone who wants to better understand the real potential of blockchains and web3.Robert Iger, CEO, DisneyA compelling vision of where the internet should go and how to get there.Sam Altman, cofounder, OpenAIThe internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic 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 doesnt 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 speculationa distinction he calls the computer vs. the casino.With lucid and compelling prosedrawing from a twentyfiveyear career in the software industryDixon shows how the internet has undergone three distinct eras, bringing us to the critical moment were in today. The first was the read era, in which early networks democratized information. In the readwrite era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the readwriteown 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 mustread for anyoneinternet users, business leaders, creators, entrepreneurswho wants to understand where weve been and where were going. It provides a vision for a better internet and a playbook to navigate and build the future.
