Incredible first chapter, showing us governance not as a linear evolution but more as a messy social experiment made of trials and error to eventually reach some sort of governance. This messy social experiment often happens in times of big technological evolution (industrial revolution, new ways of building ships, agriculture).

exploring the blockchain as a trust machine. In fact the blockchain is not trustless but introduce a deterministic mechanism of trust between participant that comes to improve on mechanisms that are already built in our society but can fail sometimes (like the banking system in 2008)

Interesting chapter on the comparison with the rule of code and rule by code in contrast to the rule of law and the rule by law. The internet/tech space is currently living by the rule by code where companies determines our lives by code and algorithms opaque to us. While the rule of code is more transparent algorithmically it raises questions on liability and who is accountable for it
