  The font size/text is too small and lines space too close together, not going to even read it.

  A very sound approach and an extensive analysis on Blockchain. I would recommend this book to those who are interested in understanding blockchain, applications and limitations.

  A well written book, filled with examples and futuristic ideas we can all identify with. The book is quite useful and easy to understand. From page one I got hooked to the text and could deeply comprehend what is behind blockchain and its bright future.

  As a complete Blockchain novice, I found the Blockchain Revolution informative and easy to understand. If you'd like to understand Blockchain, this book is a good starting point.

  The most interesting, groundbreaking book I have read in years. This has got to be one of, if not the most, authorititive books out there on the blockchain. It does not focus on technical matters and can be read by a lay person not very familiar with how blockchain technology and cryptography work. Nor is it simply about Bitcoin (blockchains are about much than Bitcoin). Less about how it works, than about how blockchain technology has the potential to transform the spheres of commerce, finance, management, public administration, politics, government and society in general (not to mention other applications). Must surely be compulsary reading for anyone wishing to explore how to create and exchange value, devise new business models and futureproofing in this age of information and big data. It is not however a book targeted only at e commerce of financial services people. The authors explain how the blockchain could be a force for good, improving the outcomes for millions of people, particularly those in developing countries who are currently excluded from the financial system and the formal economy. They remind us of course that as with any other technology the blockchain is 'neutral', in that it is not inherently a 'good' or a 'bad' thing; it depends on how people choose to deploy it.

  I found this book to be quite a slog, with lots of repetition. It could have conveyed the same information with half the words. I regret buying it.

  Seems like a book written by someone trying to make money off the bitcoin hype. You will end up with nothing but half baked knowledge of what a few people are trying to do with blockchain technology. The author is like an astrologer who makes 10 big predictions and hopes atleast one of them would come true.

  A superficial and overly verbose description of speculative uses for blockchain which the authors often conflate with other unrelated technologies. Overall, this book reads like the Tapscotts didn't really grasp the fundamentals of the technology and instead decided to pad the text out with extended quotes from others. This is a book that breathlessly explores the uses of a technology that the authors didn't understand take that as you will.

  Almost all claims in the book are just guessing and theories, no hard data or specific on ROI of blockchain projects has been provided.
  Also a lot of unfounded claims not related to blockchain (e.g. women rights, etc). I would call the ideas in the book at least dangerous, it gives impression of new religious movement than real scientific understanding of blockchain impact on society.

  It's an ok book, but can't say I was enthusiastic. It does a good job of covering current developments around blockchain, but it doesn't develop a powerful vision. Some of the chapters, like the one on IoT, seem to mix the narrative on blockchain with that of other technologies.

  The book is extremely repetitive. The very same idea is being repeated in a slightly different wording from page to page.
  Would only recommend as a non technical reading.
  For technical details of blockchain try something else

  I would recommend this book to business persons who want to understand possible applications of blockchains. The authors have detailed multiple use cases of blockchains that could impact finance, arts, music, governance, etc. I liked the parts where it explained how the double entry ledger impacted the world and why the blockchain could have a similar or impact. Tech geeks who are looking for technology or implementation level detail would be disappointed by the book. They are better off getting details on the internet.
