2019 Powell, Alison. “Registering Eve.” How to Run a City Like Amazon, and Other Fables. Ed. Mark Graham, Rob Kitchin, Shannon Mattern, and Joe Shaw (Np: Meatspace Press, 2019), 351-503 [112-118].

A future city in which all interactions are through the blockchain, based on a company like Ethereum, which has many flaws, some of which are deliberately designed to overcharge. All the stories in the book are responses to a recent book, A New City O/S: The Power of Open, Collaborative, and Distributed Government (Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2017), by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman, that proposes, in the editors’ interpretation, that cities should act more like Amazon in dealing with their citizens. The female author is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics.
