Bitcoin and Beyond: Cryptocurrencies, Blockchains, and Global Governance
Contributors draw on a varied set of theories and methods to analyse how a range of actors, processes and issue areas are reframed, redefined, and reconstituted by blockchain technologies.
Primarily geared towards university professors and senior undergraduate and graduate students, this proposed book will be equally pertinent for policy-makers, industry practitioners and the general public.
Given the interdisciplinary perspectives provided, the book will also appeal to students and scholars in a range of disciplines including but also beyond GPE, from business and media studies to sociology and anthropology.
Blending theory and practical detail in manners that will be engaging and educational for non-experts, the book will provide new insights for those familiar with existing debates in global governance.
The book will have international appeal due to the very global nature of CC and the blockchain ecosystem.

Highly Technical But Good Overall
This book took me a long time to finish because of its technical nature. It's also dry and boring at times. It's less about Bitcoin and more about the Blockchain ecosystem and its implications on technological ethics. Overall, I found it informative even though it was difficult to finish.

There were a few interesting chapters (like the history of digital currencies before Bitcoin, and the chapter on The DAO), but most were light on content and high on fluff.

Brief history and analysis
More on the brief history of the blockchain and review on those key events in the development. This kind of book indeed became desolate quickly.
