Description

An essential introduction and guide to navigating the next Internet revolutioneverything from the metaverse and NFTs to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identityfrom the co-author of the international bestseller Blockchain Revolution.

The Web, and with it the Internet, are entering a new age. Weve moved from the Read-only Web, which had little functionality for interacting with content, to the Read-Write Web, which offered seemingly endless collaborative opportunities, from sharing with our favorite people to shopping at our favorite brands. But the profusion of cyberattacks, data hacks, and online profiling have left many of us to view digital life as a Faustian bargain in need of a major rethink.

That rethink is Web3, the Read-Write-Own Weba decentralized Internet where individuals own their own identities and can securely trade assets like money, securities, intellectual property, and art peer to peer. Made possible by blockchains, the foundational technology of bitcoin, Web3 promises the biggest shake up of business since the invention of double-entry bookkeeping in the Middle Ages. It is the Internets new frontier.

In Web3, award-winning author and technology investor Alex Tapscott provides a cutting-edge guide to the Internets next era. Covering everything from the metaverse and non-fungible tokens to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity, this indispensable, forward-thinking book describes the building blocks and often hidden technologies that will be foundational to our cultural and economic progress.
