In Search of: An Engineer’s Journey

£19.00

This is not necessarily the bitcoin book to give to friends and relatives you want to orange pill, it gives more attention to helping the reader understand “What’s the problem?” (Cheers Joe Bryan). The story builds a foundation on the problems experienced by a business as well as the protagonist, exploring why it is happening, and how he may be able to solve his problems. Bitcoin is only introduced once the scale of the problem begins to land, orienting the implementation of bitcoin around practical, tangible actions that could be made to a firm, so that both the firm and those in the firm could benefit from bitcoin. It’s aims to have something for both the non-technical, pre-coiner, as well as something new for a bitcoin O.G.

Description

Nathan is a forty something business owner, lost in his own thoughts, wondering where he is, until a chance encounter with someone who may have always visited the same pub starts a conversation. Over the course of follow up discussions with this stranger, Tom, and his daughters and wife, Nathan begins to better understand the world he’s found himself in and why even after he’s done everything he thought he should, it has become increasingly difficult to succeed, but also what actually does succeeding even mean? Nathan may have been hoping someone would turn up, out of the blue to fix his problems, but maybe the actual problem he needed to understand and solve had, until now, been out of sight.

About the Author: Rupert Matthews

Rupert L. Matthews

I am a lecturer in business and management, having received by PhD in 2013, and since 2009, researching and writing about operations management. The majority of the writing I have done since co-authoring my first book in 2009 has been in academic conferences and journals, covering topics such as small business management, organisational learning, process improvement, public sector improvement and craft manufacturing. Since late 2022, my research has branched out to include research on bitcoin, where I have worked with NGO’s, published in Bitcoin Magazine and published in the Challenges journal special issues on bitcoin, that was put together by The Satoshi Action Fund. From one of the two papers I published in Challenges, I had the idea of writing my second book, taking the form of a novel, with the aim of communicating some of the ideas I’ve covered in my research. In places it was a bit of a challenge, but for anyone who can manage to read the book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
