About the book
Criptoria: From Turing to Nakamoto is a rabbit hole of rabbit holes about computers, networks, cybersecurity and digital money.
From Greece to Bitcoin, Criptoria recounts a selection of milestones before and after Alan Turing. The book lays out a broad collection of people, organizations, concepts and inventions that reveal the deep historical and cultural relationship between mathematics, cryptography, computing and the struggle for individual sovereignty.
Criptoria is aimed at everyone convinced that, beyond inherited or imposed paths, there are other forms of social and economic organization that can and must be explored.
