This is a good primer, it charts the topography of the blockchain world at a high-level. The emphasis is on the legal implications and business use cases rather than a deep dive into implementation and adoption issues. The author's pugnacious behaviour in the Amazon reviews for the book is embarrassing. Leaving fake reviews with your real name exposed, not a cute promotion strategy.. There are better quality books and blogposts.

Good book to get an intro to blockchain technology, but browse around for other pieces of work, since I think this book may be getting outdated given how fast pace this industry is.
