Welcome to Web3 with A6 and Z, our show about building the next generation of the

Internet from the team at A6 and Z crypto. I'm Sonil, your host, and this show is

for anyone. Whether artist, developer, company leader, entrepreneur, media, or policymaker.

Today, we're excited to launch a limited series on the new book just out, Read Write Own,

building the next internet by Chris Dixon.

It explores the power of blockchains to reshape the internet back into an open network

for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship, which affects us all.

So the book also goes beyond crypto and blockchains to cover intersecting technologies such

as AI, social networks, marketplaces, virtual worlds, and more.

This new series is produced and hosted by Robert Hackett

beginning with this episode with author Chris Dixon and continuing with other guests

on other topics. You can find the book at readwrightown.com and as a reminder none of the following should be taken as investment legal business or tax advice
