A potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the Internet--and how that affects us all--from highly influential entrepreneur and technology investor Chris Dixon The Internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of creativity and innovation. In the past decade, the Internet has fallen under the control of a tiny group of massive 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 doesn't have to die, and that in fact it can, and must, be saved with blockchain networks, which he vitally separates from the currency-based speculation that it is unfortunately lumped together with--a distinction he calls "The Computer vs The Casino". With lucid and compelling prose--and drawing from his first-hand observations, mental models, and experiences over a 25-year career in the Internet industry--Dixon

A pioneering psychotherapist tackles the overlooked stage of Quarterlife― the years of adulthood between adolescence and midlife ― and provides a guide to navigate its struggles and thrive.I’m stuck. What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is? Satya Doyle Byock hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with “Quarterlifers,” individuals between the ages (roughly) of sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything “right”: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet, they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next.

She refers to them as “Meaning Types.” While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Byock sees things differently. She believes these struggles are a part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stag
