“Web3 is a breathtaking innovation that holds great promise but also peril for those who dismiss the future. Tapscott has written a book we need as we enter a new epoch for computing and for society,” said Larry Summers, former US Secretary of the Treasury.

The book tour will kick off with a special event in Toronto on September 18. Other stops include:

Each event will feature a speech by Alex Tapscott and a lively panel discussion with industry experts as they discuss the book’s key themes.

“Web3 may be the next big disrupter in business and has the potential to rewrite what we know, reshape organizations, and change the way business is conducted,” said Debbie Gamble, Chief Officer Innovation Labs & New Ventures at Interac Corp. “Forward-thinking conversations like the ones scheduled by Alex Tapscott for the release of his new book are important to help Canadians understand the motivations, risks and opportunities associated with Web3 and provide them with the foresight to innovate a new breed of products and services for the future.”

“As emerging technologies like AI and blockchain take hold at breakneck speed, pioneers and educators have a responsibility to initiate discussions that educate, inform, and spark discussion,” said Jaime Leverton, CEO Hut 8. “This book does exactly that and will kick-start a conversation about our digital future, for leaders in business, society and beyond."

"Web3 heralds a transformative era, seamlessly bridging the digital and traditional worlds,” said Dean Skurka, President and CEO of Wonderfi. “Tapscott expertly decodes our industry’s promise for a more decentralized, user-centric future. As pioneers in the crypto industry, WonderFi, Coinsquare and Bitbuy all recognize this book as an essential guide for those shaping the digital frontier.”
