Read Write Own: Building the Next Era of the Internet Chris Dixon
The internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of innovation, connection, and freedom. In the past decade, it has fallen almost entirely under the control of a very small group of companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn’t have to die and can, in fact, be saved with blockchain networks. He separates this movement, which aims to provide a solid foundation for everything from social networks to artificial intelligence to virtual worlds, from cryptocurrency speculation—a distinction he calls “the computer vs. the casino.”
With lucid and compelling prose—drawing from a twenty-five-year career in the software industry—Dixon shows how the internet has undergone three distinct eras, bringing us to the critical moment we’re in today. The first was the “read” era, in which early networks democratized information. In the “read-write” era, corporate networks democratized publishing. We are now in the midst of the “read-write-own” era, sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks are granting power and economic benefits to communities of users, not just corporations.
Read Write Own is a must-read for anyone—internet users, business leaders, creators, entrepreneurs—who wants to understand where we’ve been and where we’re going. It provides a vision for a better internet and a playbook to navigate and build the future.
Sébastien Borget : On est autour du concept de la blockchain du web 3, il y a Read Write Own de Chris Dixon qui est un peu la Bible, qui est très souvent recommandé pour expliquer les concepts de comment on passe d'un internet 1.0 où on va surtout consommer du contenu mis à disposition par les éditeurs, Web 2, internet participatif où les utilisateurs sont contributeurs, les blogs, les plateformes social media, les YouTube, ..., le write, et le Own, finalement, le Web 3, la notion où l'internet passe à un nouveau niveau où la participation des utilisateurs et les contenus publiés sont la propriété des utilisateurs qui contribuent, apportent un tout nouveau développement économique et des possibilités importantes. Et donc Chris Dixon de S16Z, l’un des principaux fond d'investissement explique très bien et de manière très claire tous ces concepts-là.
