One of the top authors from the recent blog post “Top 10 Web3 Writers” was Antony Lewis here, and here is his book, “The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains”
This book is great for understanding the basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains, as the title suggests. It’s for beginners to understand the space and for experienced blockchain experts to refresh their knowledge.

He’ll talk about what a blockchain is, how it operates, and why it’s important.

4. The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything by Matthew Ball
Every day there is seemingly hundreds of new souls entering “The Metaverse” and an even greater number who are curious about the topic and impending future.
This books will help you to realize that the metaverse isn’t simply a game, but a great tool for marketing, education, healthcare, gyms, and more!
Blurb:
*Taking us on an expansive tour of the “next internet,” Ball demonstrates that many proto-Metaverses are already here, such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. Yet these offer only a glimpse of what is to come.
Ball presents a comprehensive definition of the Metaverse before explaining the technologies that will power it — and the breakthroughs that will be necessary to realize it fully.
He addresses the governance challenges the Metaverse entails; investigates the role of Web3, blockchains, and NFTs; and predicts Metaverse winners and losers. Most importantly, he examines many of the Metaverse’s almost unlimited applications.”
5. Reality+ by David J. Chalmers
As a philosopher and critical thinker myself, this book is a fascinating area of exploration, diving into the ‘why’ behind what we do.
Chalmers gives a compelling argument in “Reality+” by discussing whether virtual reality is actual reality. The book provides a compelling case and prompts you to think for yourself.
This book acts as an outline of our activities with immersive technologies by painting a vivid picture comprising of the ethics that we need to consider when advancing in web3 and the metaverse.
You’ll Learn
- To explore the important philosophical element of the metaverse
- Why or why not we should tread lightly in the space
- Not the technicalities of the metaverse and web3, but rather the ethical implications of web3 and the metaverse

I can’t stress this enough! Be extremely vigilant and aware of every link you click, every transaction you make, and every person you interact with, as scammers are plentiful in the space, and rugs get pulled from even the best-looking of projects.
Triple-check all links before you click them, and make sure they’re the official link you’re seeking. Also, triple-check all wallet address’s before sending anything valuable to yourself or someone else.
