Who would've thought that Ben McKenzie, star of the hit TV show The O.C., would delve into the world of crypto and successfully argue that the entire world this digital tech is in is a straight up fraud? It's a surprising decision for McKenzie but crypto being a complete scam is not at all surprising to me going into this book. What was surprising were how these massive crypto companies rose to fame and their levels of insanity, hilarity, and stupidity that would ensue and eventually claim their downfall. This is a very interesting read since I didn't know too much about crypto, especially the details of it but it is also entertaining the way Ben would implement his perspective, interest, and personality into this book. This is very insightful and Ben and co. do a fantastic job at explaining in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Not only is this book and its subject matter massively important but it perfectly covers the way the murky poisonous greed of late stage capitalism would seep into our politics, our society, our world, with countless innocent lives being destroyed as a result.
