"Camila Russo has written the story of Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum—do I need to say more? Read it!" — Tyler Cowen, cofounder of Marginal Revolution

“Bitcoin’s origin story has been widely covered, and thankfully Camila Russo has now narrated the similarly profound genesis of Ethereum. As cryptocurrency and borderless digital finance sweep the world, every tech enthusiast and financial radicalist should dive deep into The Infinite Machine. This is the founding of our swiftly approaching future.” — Erik Voorhees, CEO of ShapeShift

“Camila Russo gives us a fascinating history on the birth and birthing pains of the Ethereum network, which has the potential to transform the way society functions. If Ethereum fulfills its promise, this book will be required reading at colleges, and if it doesn’t, it's still a great read.” — Michael Novogratz, cofounder of Galaxy Digital

The Infinite Machine is the most thorough account of Ethereum's past, present, and likely future that I've encountered. Russo's background as a Bloomberg News reporter combined with her immersion in Ethereum makes her uniquely qualified to tell Ethereum's story. Reminiscent of Nathaniel Popper's work in its storytelling, finesse, and dedication to detail, The Infinite Machine is slated to be Ethereum's Digital Gold. Russo's timing is good, as Ethereum is poised to rise in the mainstream as Bitcoin's younger, more capable sibling. — Chris Burniske, cofounder at Placeholder Ventures and coauthor of Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond

"This real story reads like a colorful, cypherpunk sci-fi. Still visceral for anyone who was there, Russo eloquently captures the origin story of the burgeoning Web 3.0 movement that is driving the next generation of internet platforms. It'll become a canonical text on the history of the space." — Jesse Walden, founder of venture fund Variant and former Andreessen Horowitz investor

"Russo—the ex-Bloomberg tech journalist who describes herself on Twitter as 'Chieftess at the Defiant'—has written a fast-paced, Michael Lewis-style history of crypto-currency which helps us sort out our Bitcoins from our Ethereums." — Literary Hub

"This will appeal to people fascinated with the possibilities of cryptocurrency, as well as those interested in the personalities involved and the business history of the concept." — Library Journal

“The Infinite Machine is well-organized, easy to follow, and serves as the best introduction to the world of Ethereum." — Wall Street Journal
