article starts so well, outlining the lack of true decentralization of today internet and how connection providers control everything as consequece.

then it mentions block chain, failing to realize that miners can monopolize it just like amazon monopolized the current servers ("sorry, you cant run this fork version on our for-rent servers")

don't waste your reading after blockchain is mentioned.


This is a review of the new book by George Gilder, "Life after Google", which came out in July.
