Happy new year everyone. I hope you all had a good vacation with
some spare reading time. Over the holidays, I had the pleasure to
listen to four audiobooks. It is pretty clear that the next decade
is going to be another exciting ride for us tech and IP
lawyers.
The first audiobook was Blockchain and the Law: The Rule of Code,
written by Primavera De Filippi and Aaron Wright. A lot has been
written about blockchain. In this book, the authors not only look
at developments, past, present and future, but also provide an
ambitious, scholarly, and fact rich analysis of the legal
challenges associated with blockchain. The book also has a good
description of the technical developments that make blockchain
possible such as evolution of P2P networks and public key
cryptography.
