A world-class read. Thought-prvoking and profound.. hits hard right from the start, and I love the authors writing style.

I just started re-reading it after like 10+ years.

Got me thinking about how our communication tools are impacting out culture.. and of course the internet, bitcoin and AI, and how those have and will shape our culture. With print and visual mediums of communication being shortcut by AI, will we revert back to oration and rhetoric being more "true" than the written word? Or does cryptography as a communication medium become the new cultural norm stated as "verified, not trusted"?

At least read this book for the love of god!
