Probably the book is not for me: a general software engineering practitioner looking for a bit lighter read on web3..

The book can be made more accessible with good editing unless the idea is to keep it only for those who read journals. There are insightful points here and there but only read this book if you are comfortable reading sentences like this:

“The total nano-economy network size at a given time, t, is the summation of the developer community (Ndt) and users of the platform (Nut): Nt = Nut + Ndt. Consider that a fraction of the nano-economy network, w, also work as developers: Ndt = wNt and Nut = (1 – w)Nt, where w ϵ (0, 1). Thus, the per capita nano-economy income, yt ≡ Yt / Nt = Tσt (1 – w). Therefore, the growth of per capita income of the nano-economy, ẏ/y: gy = σgT. Note: Ṫ/T=δwNt /T.”

Or if you are into academic stuff

“…a co-utile reputation mechanism could be more efficient (Turi et al., 2017). A co-utile reputation mechanism is different from the conventional method of sequential approach in eBay or the simultaneous or blind feedback giving method proposed by Bolton et al. (2013)… Turi et al. (2016) argue that reciprocity equilibrium can lead to a co-utile outcome for positive reciprocity… ”

3 stars from me because while I barely understood a word, "digital entrepreneurs" that are in the thick of getting their web based businesses funded and up to speed with the fast paced digital economy would probably find this useful. The reading was too advanced for my knowledge of the space, but now I know how far behind I am when it comes to the future of ebusiness.
