Review: The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and Application of the Next Internet Technology

The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and Application of the Next Internet Technology by William Mougayar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dated, but pretty good in terms of foundational information. The target market here is businesses who might be persuaded to add blockchain technology to whatever they do, but it is obviously too generalized, since the use of blockchain would differ immensely from business to business. 

If you are wondering if/how to use blockchain in your business, feel free to read this, then use what you learned to find something that discusses what you need more in depth.

Review: The Infinite Machine: How an Army of Crypto-hackers Is Building the Next Internet with Ethereum

The Infinite Machine: How an Army of Crypto-hackers Is Building the Next Internet with Ethereum by Camila Russo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a must-read for anyone interested in Ethereum and, in fact, in the Crypto world in general, since it pretty much spans its entire existence. It is told as a story (Michael Lewis-style, as many other reviewers have mentioned), but also goes into quite a bit of detail, naming names and explaining intricacies (at least it seemed intricate for a non-technical person like me). 

This is probably canonical at this point in time, and seems to end in a way so that a part two, or an addition, can be tacked onto the end of this in the future.

A tad outdated here and there at this point, but still a great overall primer for those interested in a broad overview of blockchain technology.
