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.

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
