Dan: This is a great "vision" book for understanding what blockchain technologies (shared immutable ledgers, smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, etc.) can do for us as a society. The authors cover reinventing business, governments, commerce, etc. very well via blockchain-enabled efforts. The discussions are deep enough to be genuinely thought-provoking.
Be aware that the book does approach the problems from a very liberal perspective. We're constantly reminded that lots of people are disenfranchised by governments and big business (third-parties), for example, and you don't get too much defense of existing third-party systems that actually work well.
The details of how blockchain itself works are not discussed in any detail, so if you are looking for this kind of info, look elsewhere.

To make sure I can quickly grasp the novelty I decided to skip the first part and began reading from the Transformations part. And with every page my state of awe spiked up rocket style!

Awe at the clarity with which the Tapscotts spell out the paradigm shift from the Internet as we know it, to the Blockchain-enabled Internet (we call it ‘B-Internet’ here). No matter what Chapter or even what page you start with, the reading will shed...
