From the authors of the fascinating The Age of Cryptocurrency, comes the definitive work on the Internet’s next big thing: the blockchain.
‘The authors ably explain highly technical information in layperson’s terms, and the text is neither too dense nor too basic. Readers may pick this one up for the Bitcoin connection and find themselves fascinated with the blockchain’s potential to change the world’s financial systems for the better.’ ―Booklist
‘With thoughtful and well researched analysis, The Truth Machine leads you through a history of cryptocurrencies and blockchains that reveals the path forward towards a decentralized economy, one in which opportunity and access are widely spread.’ ―Andreas M Antonopoulos, author of Mastering Bitcoin and The Internet of Money series

‘Casey and Vigna have done it again! It turns out that digital currencies may only be the spark for the next major revolution in business and society.
