I’ve read The Mandibles from Lionel Shriver. Good read! The novel narrates the life of a multi-generational American family going through the tumultuous years of 2029-2047. It was written in 2016 so I was wondering if the author would mention #Bitcoin (which may turn to be a solution if the events described in the book were to play out). There is only one mention of Bitcoin:

« The dollar is a historied currency that’s stabilized the international economy for over a century, Willbur. The bancor is an upstart pretender whose constraints are unworkably strict. We just have to hold our nerve. After all—look at what happened to bitcoin. »

The book seems to get it right on so many developments that I really would like to know what had happened to Bitcoin. Shriver may be wrong on this one.
