In this video, I review Lionel Shriver's dystopian novel "The Mandibles," which may be the best Bitcoin book ever, even though it mentions Bitcoin only once.

Mandibles is set in the near future (2029-2047) and follows the impact of a massive economic and social collapse on the fortunes of the Mandible family.

In this dystopian future, private gold ownership and cash are forbidden, and everyone pays for goods and services with brain chips that contain a form of CBDC (central bank digital currency). There is also crazy money printing, hyperinflation, and shortages of basic goods, including food.

Mandibles is a great book to recommend to someone who likes fiction, but has no interest in Bitcoin-- yet.

Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
