THE CODE ECONOMY: A Forty-Thousand Year History
I believe The Code Economy: A Forty-Thousand-Year History is a valuable work by Philip Auerswald, who has managed to enable us to read a comprehensive process from the existence of humanity to the invention of the alphabet, from various stages of production to the first traces of coding, from the emergence of Blockchain to current popular notions, with a clear expression and with pleasure. The production and maintenance of independent objects and events involve an algorithmic order. Many concepts such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, and coding, which we use extensively today, were still in life in ancient times with old methods and different reflections. For example, although today people use mechanical systems to warm up, they only used fire and wood in the early ages. There were two parameters here and an algorithmic process was used to make these parameters useful. This situation tells the story of how many concepts that we call different names today have passed through different paths and journeys from the past to the present. Since the existence of humanity, there have been discoveries that seem simple but define the basic needs of humanity. Philip Auerswald managed to present the process from this point to the emergence of complex systems such as Blockchain as a gripping story. You can explore this process in a fluent language by taking a nice tour in your imagination. The Code Economy is a work that uniquely compiles and presents to its readers that the concept of code comes from the nature of humanity and evolves with us. We recommend that you read it.
