| Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet (Random House) |
| Friday, 14 March 2025 | |||
In this book, Chris Dixon argues that the internet has undergone three distinct eras, starting with the "read" era, in which early networks democratized information. In the "read-write" era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the "read-write-own" era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations.
Author: Chris Dixon Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn’t have to die and can, in fact, be saved with blockchain networks. He separates this movement, which aims to provide a solid foundation for everything from social networks to artificial intelligence to virtual worlds, from cryptocurrency speculation.
