WEB3: Charting the Internet's Next Economic and Cultural Frontier
WEB3：繪製網路的下個經濟和文化邊界
內容介紹
網路，正在進入一個新時代。我們從一個單向、較少互動功能的“閱讀網絡(Web1)”轉向“讀寫網絡(Web2)”，後者提供給了我們無窮盡的協作機會。但是大量的網絡攻擊、數據黑客和在線的資料收集，使許多人將數據生活視為一項需要重新考慮的浮士德交易。
作者在此書提出了Web3，也就是在前兩者之後，人們能進一步重新考慮的方向。 Web3即“讀、寫、擁有網絡”，一個去中心化的互聯網，在當中個人能擁有自己的身份，並能夠安全地點對點交易資產，如貨幣、證券、知識產權和藝術品。 Web3的實現得益於區塊鏈技術，這是比特幣的基礎技術，承諾將是自中世紀雙記賬法發明以來對商業的最大震撼。這是互聯網的新世界。如果說Web1 和Web2 實現了信息獲取的民主化，使在線聚會和協作變得更加容易，那麼Web3 將為我們提供了一個更強大的工具集，使我們能夠在全球公平競爭的環境中賺取利益、擁有資產和創造財富。在全球公平競爭的環境中創造財富，並在此過程中分散權力和影響力。如果技術的傳播真的使世界變得 "更平"，那麼 Web3 就是那一台壓路機。
在《Web3》中，獲獎作家和技術投資者亞歷克斯·塔普斯科特（Alex Tapscott）提供了一份前沿指南，闡述了互聯網下一個時代的發展。從元宇宙和非同質化代幣到去中心化金融和自主身份，這本不可或缺的前瞻性書籍描述了將成為我們文化和經濟進步基石的各種構建和隱藏技術。
