  What happens to identity when we're obsessed with self-surveillance and devalued words? Now that we've sold ourselves to ourselves, shuffling letters and sounds around to hide the pain, how do we represent the uncanny valley in which we've set up shop? In Cursed Objects, Jason Christie recoils in horror at the thoroughness of his self, then begins to write toward a new understanding brokered between all the things that define him and who he thinks he should be and interrogates how we reduce people to words, especially online, turning them into objects.

  This book is plunging into Ethereum and analyzing every element. Start with a simple transaction, dissect how it operates, create a simple contract, develop it, and follow its path through the Ethereum network and its application to business and finance. 
  Not only will you learn how to use Ethereum — how it functions— but also why the way it is built. You should understand how each piece works, how they fit together, and why. 
  Despite great fear, cynicism, and even denial, many people receive new ideas. Of course, staying in the comfort zone and walking on the beaten track is much safer. Perhaps it's worth asking yourself at some point, though: how far is this track going to take me? It will most likely lead you no further than your life's next door.  
  The Ethereum movement is a leap forward. You should therefore keep an open mind and learn new things so as not to fail as the world continues to move forward. It extends to many areas of our lives and even more so to personal finances.  
  Before recently, you'd need a very complicated background in cryptography, coding, math and you'd need a lot of resources to create a blockchain application. Things have changed and it is now much easier to use the blockchain than anyone could have imagined, using cases from electronic voting, property and asset recording to compliance and trading. Ethereum is one of the tools that makes all of this possible.  
  We all call Bitcoin the king of the world of cryptocurrency, making Ethereum the queen. In this book, before moving on to Ethereum, we'll explore what the blockchain is and what it's all about, what you can do with it. For now, it's enough to claim Ethereum's price is rising steadily and it's now becoming one of the most popular of all the cryptocurrencies. Would you like to know more? Read on and I'm going to tell you everything you need to know.
