Alone among all emerging computer technologies, Satoshi Nakamoto's brainchild draws not just on mathematics, cryptography, and computer networks, but raises economic, sociological, political, and philosophical questions. Questions about ownership, control, privacy, currency, and at the core of it all: data. Join Keir on a fascinating journey as he explores everything from how the technology behind blockchain works, through to what it means to us as a society, and assesses whether it will change the way we view the world. And it's all in his usual educational, entertaining, and slightly irreverent style.
