From the Inside Flap
The definitive pioneering blueprint covering the what, why, and how of the blockchain
Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, potentially cutting off intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency, making them dependable and attractive for running a new generation of decentralized services and software applications.

Anyway, the book make you think and that it probably its best characteristic...

At best this book can be described as 'evangelist prep'. I cannot begin to describe how annoyed and irritated I was by the end of this book- as an IT professional I was seeking more than arm-waving, 'big-picture' statements. I had deeper understanding of smart contracts from 20 minutes on the ethereum website.
Should the book been marketed at £1.99 I may have been less irritated.


Also, I note that pretty much all the positive reviews were from reviewers provided with a free copy of the book. Not exactly impartial feedback!
So, pretty poor really.
