The story of the idealists, technologists, and opportunists fighting to bring cryptocurrency to the masses.
In their short history, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gone through booms, busts, and internecine wars, recently reaching a market valuation of more than $2 trillion. The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments.
The recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.
This fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really is: a deeply personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and power.

South Korea, 1970. San is a lonely child, ostracised from her
community. She soon finds a friend in a girl called Namae, until
one afternoon changes everything. Following a moment of intimacy in
a minari field, Namae violently rejects San, setting her on a
troubling path. We next meet San, aged twenty-two, when she happens
upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul's bustling city centre. Over
the course of one hazy, volatile summer, San is introduced to a
curious cast of characters - the mute shop owner, a brash
co-worker, kind farmers and aggressive customers - and fuelled by a
quiet desperation to jump-start her life, she plunges headfirst
into obsession with a passing magazine photographer. Throughout it
all, San's moment with Namae continues to linger in the back of her
mind. A story of thwarted desire, misogyny and erasure, Violets
reveals the high stakes involved in one woman's desperate search
for both autonomy and attachment in an unforgiving society.

A desultory libertine mourns a failed relationship over the course
of two harsh winters in this unprecedented portrait of millennials
living in Seoul. The time is roughly now and Kai, a white-collar
worker, has just been abandoned by his longtime lover. Follow him
through the city’s alleyways as he reels from this sudden
departure. Accompany him up snowy mountains where he contemplates
ending his own life. That mourning can be both a sensuous and
revelatory art is epitomized in the paths that Kai crosses and the
lives he alters for better or worse. Kai is not the only one
feeling disoriented and aimless these days. Those in his inner
circle similarly experience personal crises as they go through
their thirties in a nation simmering with class and generational
tensions, as well as the specter of new and old wars. Doing for
Seoul what Kathy Acker does for New York City and Virginie
Despentes for Paris, Ery Shin evokes contemporary Seoul in all of
its glory and turmoil. Phantasmagorical, melancholic, and daringly
irreverent, Spring on the Peninsula is a poignant debut novel and a
meditation on modern life in a city beset by North Korea’s
shadow.
Fly over the mountains, dive into the deep sea and creep through

by Yujin Shin, with plenty to spot and talk about, make this book a
perfect gift for curious kids. Little ones can have more fun
learning with My First Body Book and My First Clock Book.
