one of my top 3 books. This doesn’t add to your comment but I find it interesting: An important part of the story is that the Primer was originally intended to train a billionaire’s granddaughter to become a powerful CEO. One equity-lord’s attempt to hoard knowledge that backfires is what catalyzes the story.
I mean say what you want, but thats legit how new tech is being developed right now. My favorite book is Cryptonomicon. It came out in 1999, But the premise was that the main characters were going to build a currency backed on cryptography. There was even a side story in the book where one of the man characters is looking for a specific investor who is obsessed with trading cards. The main character sells the investor on the idea by saying how the technology could easily be adapted for distributing digital trading cards.
The dude basically predicted Bitcoins and the rise of NFTs in 1999.
