I have been a follower of Zeeshan Usmani sab, and has learned alot from his videos and other work. I read this book which I think has been written for very basic understanding of Blockchain technology, some of the information given in start related to history of money and currency is really good, however, one cannot learn alot of this technology and extract critical information reading this. This book also includes some case studies of doing certain special things using blockchain technology and after reading those case studies it seems they are just summaries of some published research papers and not giving any breakthrough information related to it. Furthermore, the references of this book are not accurate, in one incident this book mentioned 70 odds fatalities in Pakistan’s election by giving out reference of local news paper, this was a news to me, when I cross checked the reference there was no any such thing mentioned. Conclusively, this book can help to build the basic understsnding of emerging technology who knows nothing about it, but it will not be a good pick for people who wants to learn something about the technology, as there is nothing in it.
