From the authors of the fascinating The Age of Cryptocurrency,
comes the definitive work on the Internet's 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 this a 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 society's 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 takes moving humanity forward, not backward.
