Cărți pentru constructori de criptomonede și nu numai: Biblioteca Fondatorului Summit

In the spirit of sharing what we’re reading — a regular tradition around here; see our just-published iarnă reads (+games) as crowdsourced from team a16z crypto — below are some of the books we curated for the giveaway library at our recent inaugural a16z crypto Founder Summit.

But… the books in this list are not just for founders, nor are they only about crypto; the list also includes works covering tech history, company building, and the recurring theme of innovation past/ present/ future. Whether science or science fiction, memoir or organizational history, or textbook, there’s something here for everyone interested in crypto and beyond.
