About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Blockchain Revolution by Don and Alex Tapscott, read by John Chancer.

'This book has had an enormous impact'
Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft

'Spectacular. Mind-blowing in its expansiveness and profundity'
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple

'Iconic'
Clay Christensen, author of The Innovator's Dilemma

Cryptocurrencies are changing the world. They grant everyday people the power to invest, disrupt the world order and contribute towards a better future.

Blockchain is the ingeniously simple technology that powers cryptos. It is a public ledger to which everyone has access, but which no single person or institution controls. It allows for companies and individuals to collaborate with an unprecedented degree of trust and transparency. It is cryptographically secure, but fundamentally open. And it is everywhere.

In Blockchain Revolution, Don and Alex Tapscott reveal:

· how this game-changing technology is re-shaping the global economy
· how it is improving everything from healthcare records to online voting
· how people everywhere are using it to side-step institutional barriers and take control of their future

Brilliantly researched and highly accessible, this is the essential text on this major paradigm shift. Read it, or be left behind.

Great narrator and amazing book! A must read if you work in tech and want to understand the forth revolution

I absolutely loved this book

As someone who was a blockchain novice and started by reading another book which was poor in content and badly written I decided to have another go at understanding the subject and bought this book and I am sincerely pleased I did so. Well written and well narrated it is instructive, thought provoking and has lead me to greater research which in turn has set me on the path to a corporate project.

Great book

Very long winded explanation of many very obvious concepts. Assumes a very low level of knowledge from the reader.

Very waffly

There are many complaints I could weite about this book, though I will limit this review to the most laughable observation I have made.

The authors explicitly denounce socialism in harsh (and ahistoric) terms... and then go on to argue for introducing economic mechanisms that are explicitly and fundamentally socialist. Democratic control of the means of production is THE socialist concept, for example, but the authors are obviously - and laughably - unaware of this.

They might want to check the existing literature on exactly these mechanisms that they argue in favour of. Might I suggest they start with Marx? And then maybe move on to Richard D. Wolff? Would be informative.

Takes their conclusions too far, ignorant of basic political theory

Very good book until you get to the last chapter where the writes push they’re political agenda upon the reader.

Very good until last chapter

Excellent Book

I sadly just heard about Blockchain 6 months ago and not earlier. As I learned about it I had that feeling this is the next big thing. Now thanks to this book I know how will it changes the world and I want to be part of the Revolution!

I felt this is the future, now i know why

I found it easy to get in to and understand the terms used describing Blockchain tech. I now have a deeper understanding of the technology and potential futures usages. If you want to be one step ahead of the curve. understanding this technology is essential.

Blockchain is here... learn why it's important.

The narrator does his best to inject some interest into this leviathan of a book but there's only so many times he can read the same thing over and over again.
This book should be 1/10th of the length it is... Basically it bangs on endlessly about how blockchain is going to revolutionize the world... yada yada yada
That's more or less it

There's only so many times you can repeat the same

If you are looking for a technical overview of blockchain and viable applications of the technology, this is not the book for you. The authors seem very swept up in the hype without having any real understanding of any of it.

Of no substance to anyone technically minded
