Thanks for sharing this review. That quote about cash hit hard.
"Nobody ever did anything legitimate with cash" feels like something a regulator would say about Bitcoin today. Funny how the stigma around privacy and cash hasn't changed much since the 80s.
Also, the bit about tokenized content points failing now... feels like we're still trying to figure out how to value creator work without the middlemen Gibson predicted.
Stacker News feels a bit like a small corner of that "consensual hallucination" but owned by us instead of the corps.
Did you feel the AI themes in the book were more accurate than the cyberspace visuals?
