The Network State Book

Update - July 4, 2022

The Network State is now out and it's a WSJ bestseller! You have three options if you want to read it:

  • View it for free online at thenetworkstate.com

  • Download a PDF

  • Or get it on Amazon if you want the Kindle version

Think of this as a v1. We plan to release hardcover and Audible editions with significant updates. If you want to be notified when these come out, put in your email below:

I've been quiet for a while because we've been pulling together a book. It's called The Network State, it's coming out on July 4, 2022, and it's now available for preorder on Amazon.

As of this writing it's #5 on Amazon Kindle globally (!) as a preorder, which is pretty cool. We will be releasing paperback and Audible versions eventually. And if we get to #1 on Amazon Kindle, we'll also do a commemorative NFT, as discussed in this fun little thread.

What should you do?

  1. You can preorder the book here.

  2. If that doesn't work on mobile, try logging into Amazon on a desktop browser. The book should be there.

  3. Optionally, you can then drop your ENS name (like yourname.eth) into this thread. We'll use it if we send an NFT.

By the way, why might you need to use a desktop browser? Because Amazon and Apple can't agree on fees, so the Amazon iOS app doesn't allow people to buy ebooks. Silly, I know.

Writes DECENTRALIZED FICTION

Building off the work in this book and Balaji's theories about the pseudonymous economy of the future, I wrote about pseudonymity in the alt-lit space and what it can do for avant-garde novelists: https://www.decentralizedfiction.com/p/online-pseudonymity-and-the-post

The most interesting logical human behavior/interaction with governments/realities conversation I have heard in my life is your conversation with Tom Bilyeu. I have been saying the same things to my friends for years. I thought there was still hope until the covid printing fest. If you are in SG Sept 14-18 it would be interesting to talk.
