"No one’s family name was changed, altered, shortened, butchered, or 'written down wrong' at Ellis Island or any American port. That idea is an urban legend." Wow. I didn't realize this till now. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

I’m attaching the table of contents of Read Write Own below. I always like to scan through the table of contents of nonfiction books to see what, if anything, interests me, so I thought people considering the book might want to do the same. The best way to read it is end-to-end, but it’s also broken into 3-4 page chunks to allow you to skip around.
A few comments:
I present a series of frameworks throughout, some of which readers might have seen me discuss before. In the book, I develop these frameworks in greater detail, and illustrate them with stories and examples. Most of the frameworks apply not just to blockchains but to software and internet technologies generally, including both classic internet services and emerging areas like AI.
Some of the frameworks in the book:
→ The platform-app feedback loop
→ Networks: the attract-extract cycle
→ Skeuomorphic vs native applications
→ Squeezing the balloon
→ Come for the tool, stay for the network
→ The next big thing starts out looking like a toy
→ Inside-out vs outside-in technologies
→ What the smartest people do on the weekend is what everyone else will do during the week in ten years
→ Internet media: the attention-monetization tradeoff
→ Computing cycles: Incubation vs growth phases
In terms of structure, the book has five main parts:
1/ Briefly covers the history of the internet, focusing on the two most recent eras from the early 1990s through today.
2/ Dives deeper into blockchains, explaining how they work and why they matter. Shows how blockchains and tokens can be used to construct blockchain networks (aka protocols), and explain the technical and economic mechanisms by which they work.
3/ Shows how blockchain networks empower users and other network participants, answering the “why blockchains?” question people often ask.
4/ Addresses controversial questions head-on, including policy and regulatory topics and the harmful casino culture that has developed around blockchains that hurts their public perception and undermines their potential.
5/ Presents a vision of promising blockchains applications in areas like social networks, video games, virtual worlds, media businesses, collaborative creation, finance, and artificial intelligence.
Whether you’re a tech veteran, a startup founder, an everyday internet user, or just someone who’s curious about the systems that govern our digital lives, I hope there’s something in the book for you.
