Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Entertaining and fascinating. The prose is crisp and engaging, the voice confident, and the plot skillfully imagined." -- Readers' Favorite Book Review In this modern version of Gulliver's Travels, a businessman gets the offer of a lifetime from the tiny, island country of Consensusland, but the catch is troubling: give up everything he knows about business and finance on a leap of faith in cryptocurrency and the power of blockchain. Will he take that leap? Possibly the first fiction book about blockchain, Consensusland infuses a strong narrative with dramatic realism to show readers how the world changes when it uses cryptocurrency, not cash. "This book answers, in a very clever and engaging way, the question of what a society running on the blockchain could look like. But really, it goes deeper than that, intertwining allegory to capture a lot of the current debate amidst the naysayers that are resistant to change." -- Misha Yurchenko, author, "Bullish on Bitcoin"
