The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything

3.69 (845 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Michael J. Casey Paul Vigna

From the authors of the fascinating The Age of Cryptocurrency, comes the definitive work on the Internets next big thing: the blockchain.

Many of the legacy systems once designed to make our lives easier and our economy more efficient are no longer up to the task; big banks have grown more entrenched, privacy exists only until the next hack, and credit card fraud has become a fact of life. However, there is a way past all thisa new kind of operating system with the potential to revolutionise our economy: the blockchain.

In The Truth Machine, Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna demystify the blockchain and explain why it can restore personal control over our data, assets, and identities; grant billions of excluded people access to the global economy; and shift the balance of power to revive societys faith in itself. They reveal the empowerment possible when self-interested middlemen give way to the transparency of the blockchain, while highlighting the job losses, assertion of special interests, and threat to social cohesion that will accompany this shift. With a balanced perspective, Casey and Vigna show why we all must care about the path that blockchain technology takesmoving humanity forward, not backward.
