In fact, it is only the best-known recent experiment in a long line of similar efforts going back to the 1970s. But the story behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and its blockchain technology has largely been untold--until now. In \u003ci\u003eDigital Cash\u003c\/i\u003e, Finn Brunton reveals how technological utopians and political radicals created experimental money to bring about their visions of the future: to protect privacy, bring down governments, prepare for apocalypse, or launch a civilization of innovation and abundance that would make its creators immortal. Filled with marvelous characters, stories, and ideas, \u003ci\u003eDigital Cash\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging and accessible account of the strange origins and remarkable technologies behind today's cryptocurrency explosion.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinn Brunton\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.
