Ask HN: Book Recommendations for Decentralized Systems

3 pointstakker3 comments

There are plenty of good books on designing distributed systems like "Distributed Systems" by Tanenbaum/ Maarten van Steen and "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". Looking for simillar recommendations for decentralized systems - ie books which are technical and practical, may be intermediate to advance level - not something that is introductory or purely theory/philospohy/business oriented.

Could find a few: - Blockchain And Decentralized Systems - amazon.in/dp/B086CG6TJ3 - Mastering Blockchain - amazon.in/dp/B0B4P2VC76

Any feedback on above or other recommendations ?

Designing Data Intensive Applications Database Internals Understanding Distributed Systems

All of them are focussed primarily on distributed systems, not decentralized / P2P systems - think torrent, direct connection, napster, bitcoin, IPFS.
