Read Write Own

Read Write Own is a new book by Chris Dixon, who leads the A16Z crypto fund, arguing that blockchain networks let people own things on the web, the third phase after reading and writing. Dixon wrote the book to explain blockchain networks to young adults choosing careers, to family members curious about their work, and to lawmakers and regulators in DC. The reviewer, who has known Dixon for over twenty years, says the book's final section, which describes new applications being built on blockchain networks, was the most energizing part.
