Blockchain is often celebrated as the key to transparent and incorruptible record-keeping. But when applied to something as fundamental as land ownership, could this innovation create new problems instead of solving old ones?

Beyond the Deed uncovers the unsettling questions hidden beneath the promise of blockchain-based land registries. Herman Strange takes readers through a revealing exploration of how digital ledgers, while designed to eliminate fraud and inefficiency, can also open the door to exclusion, manipulation, and systemic abuse. Through real-world case studies, he examines how poorly implemented blockchain projects have affected vulnerable populations, deepened inequality, and introduced new forms of digital corruption.

From privacy violations and data immutability to the risk of governments or corporations using blockchain as a tool for control, this book exposes the complex intersection of technology, law, and human rights. At the same time, it highlights the potential for reform showing how responsible governance, ethical frameworks, and transparency can make blockchain a force for good rather than harm.

Accessible, balanced, and deeply relevant, Beyond the Deed challenges the myth of technology as a neutral solution. It’s a vital read for policymakers, developers, investors, and anyone who believes innovation should serve humanity not the other way around.

Can blockchain truly bring fairness to land ownership or will it write inequality into code forever?
