I really wanted to like this book, it promised so much. I wanted to have Blockchain explained clearly and be told how it is being used and why it works.

Instead Blockchain is explained quite poorly, or perhaps it is hard to understand because it is buried in constant hyperbole and political idealism. Every time you think he is about to make a real point, it is suddenly buried in exciting language which lacks any substance.

It definitely isn't helped by the narrator. Imagine a 4 hour infomercial and that is how it is read. To be fair to the narrator, you can hear his difficulty in reading in a meaningful way when the text lacks much of a coherent structure to follow.

Random sociological theories are very briefly referenced to add purpose to the text, with little success.

When neither the tech, politics or reasons why people view the tech with such sociological importance are well explained, and it is read as of they are trying to sell you a new type of spoon which is amazing and can be yours today for only £5, it is just a mess!

Perhaps the book is just a good editor away from from telling the author to make his point and build on it? For me it is a lost opportunity.

Not what I hoped for

Lots of general headlines about what the Blockchain may be used for but little substance.

Very vague

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Terrible, terrible discussion about Blockchain. The narrator is monotone and uninteresting. Pretty much the same as the book.

Diabolical
