I checked out these books hoping to find pointers to technical details, particularly about SHA-256. No, these are financial reporters, who may be able to change a light bulb, but maybe not the cord on a table lamp. I hope to learn whether SHA-256 is logically reversable, at least partially.

The Age of Cryptocurrency

How Bitcoin and Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic Order

Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna . Tigard 332.42 VIG 2015

Skimmed, did not read. Economics, not technology.


The Truth Machine

The Blockchain and the Future of Everything

Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna . Central 332.178 C3385t 2018

I gave up after 100 (out of 267) pages. The authors are not bad writers, but there are many more non-bad-writers to read first.
