  The world of finance is undergoing a dramatic transformation, largely driven by the rise of digital currencies. While traditional forms of money, like physical cash and credit cards, have served societies for centuries, digital currencies are now making waves, and their influence is only expected to grow. From Bitcoin to the advent of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), these digital assets are fundamentally changing how we think about and interact with money. However, the rise of digital currency is more than just a technological advancement; it has deep implications for everything from financial markets to governments, businesses, and even our daily lives. 
  At the heart of the digital currency revolution lies the blockchain—a decentralized, secure, and transparent ledger that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This innovation has created a new way for people to exchange value without relying on traditional intermediaries like banks. While the potential of digital currencies is vast, so too are the risks. From the high volatility of cryptocurrencies to concerns about their role in illegal activities, the world of digital currency is a double-edged sword. There are those who see it as the future of finance, bringing new opportunities for financial inclusion and decentralization. Others, however, remain skeptical, citing concerns about security, privacy, and the broader economic implications. 
  One of the most compelling aspects of digital currency is its ability to challenge the current financial system. As the global economy becomes more interconnected, digital currencies promise to offer faster, cheaper, and more efficient ways of transacting across borders. Yet, this innovation also poses a direct challenge to traditional financial institutions and central banks, which are grappling with how to regulate and control this new wave of digital assets.

  Steve Lohr, a technology reporter for the New York Times, chronicles the rise of Big Data, addressing cutting-edge business strategies and examining the dark side of a data-driven world. 
  Coal, iron ore, and oil were the key productive assets that fueled the Industrial Revolution. Today, Data is the vital raw material of the information economy. The explosive abundance of this digital asset, more than doubling every two years, is creating a new world of opportunity and challenge. 
  Data-ism is about this next phase, in which vast, Internet-scale data sets are used for discovery and prediction in virtually every field. It is a journey across this emerging world with people, illuminating narrative examples, and insights. It shows that, if exploited, this new revolution will change the way decisions are made—relying more on data and analysis, and less on intuition and experience—and transform the nature of leadership and management. 
  Lohr explains how individuals and institutions will need to exploit, protect, and manage their data to stay competitive in the coming years. Filled with rich examples and anecdotes of the various ways in which the rise of Big Data is affecting everyday life it raises provocative questions about policy and practice that have wide implications for all of our lives.
