The Cash-free society 147 Index 153 About the author 157ReviewsA Cash-Free Society provides a simple and clear explanation of the movement toward new forms of financial transactions. Olsen again demonstrates his ability to tell a story that everyone can understand. He manages to stay true to the complexity of the underlying technology while helping the reader to see the transition in easy to understand terms. The book is worth reading just for his brief introduction to computer applications and his story-telling reaches new heights with 'Uncle Joe's Island.'--Michael B.
