367 Chris Dixon: (Re)learning The Streets And Signs Of Our Virtual City

Many of us feel comfortable navigating a city. Whether it's New York or Kyoto, the rules remain mostly the same. Count the amount of blocks you've walked, remember that the E train runs express to Manhattan, if you see the Duane Reade, you've gone too far. We can get lost, for sure, but there's a joy in knowing that you have the freedom to get lost. A wrong turn could mean your new favorite Chinese spot, or a new friend. Now think about how you navigate the internet. We don't explore and get lost as much as we stay within one small neighborhood – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn.  Our guest today is fighting back against this centralization of our virtual city. Chris Dixon has been a partner at Andreessen Horowitz since 2012, most recently in charge of its crypto investing wing. From that birds-eye view, Chris has taken the charge on reimagining how we interact with the internet.  And now he's out with a new book, Read Write Own, all about the Web3 revolution on our doorstep. So – a lot of buzzwords, and a lot of metaphors. But what does it all mean for you?
