Mark Stuart Day gives a flavor of his book Bits to Bitcoin. He visits a handful of topics from the book, and comments on a couple of cartoons. He also sketches the book’s journey from origin to publication. Finally, Mark answers the audience’s insightful questions about writing, editing, and technology.

If you knew Mark only by his credentials – Ph.D. from MIT, teaching about systems at MIT, more than 30 patents, a decade as chief scientist at a technology company – you might expect his book to be for specialists only. Instead, Bits to Bitcoin: How Our Digital Stuff Works is a friendly guide to the underpinnings of digital life, written for the inquisitive but non-technical reader.
