Cryptonomicon is probably what you're looking for.

    mine too - but not finance. Its more general crypto, etc.

      True. REAMDE (same author) is more on the nose, but I also didn't enjoy it as much as a book. Really, Neal Stephenson just doesn't do books with only one major focus.

  I think the classic in this from is "cryptonomicon" by neal stephenson. This got me thinking about the implications of secure anonymous transactions years ago, well before any general public knowlegde of blockchain/bitcoin type concepts. What is the role goverment is they can't tax people/companies? How does a government fulfill that role if they can't raise money?
