Read Write Own

Building The Next Era Of The Internet

2024

by Chris Dixon

In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon presents a potent exploration of the power of blockchains to reshape the future of the internet—and how that affects us all. This book is a critical examination of the internet's evolution and a vision for a better future powered by blockchain networks.

Dixon provides a compelling narrative of the internet's history, describing its early promise of a decentralized and democratic network, and how it shifted towards centralization by corporations such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. Read Write Own marks the emergence of the 'read-write-own' era, also known as web3, where blockchain technology empowers communities rather than solely corporations.

With his twenty-five-year career in the software industry, Dixon separates the blockchain movement from cryptocurrency speculation, emphasizing the former's potential for fostering creativity, entrepreneurship, and comprehensive digital ecosystems. This book is a must-read for internet users, business leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs looking to understand the past and navigate the future of the internet.
