Decentralized tech: Can someone fill me in what this future look like? Books, thought leaders, current state of decentralization

Patriots, the current events of Big Tech tyranny opened my eyes to the oppression and the need for decentralization. Can someone point me to resources, thought leaders, on this space? I need to catch up. I am pledging my life to fight against big tech tyranny.

I'm requesting:

• Books and thought leaders regarding this new future of decentralization.
• What is the current state of blockchain/decentralization? Bitcoin, shitcoin, DApp, etc? How much of these are hype vs real?

Thanks. We all are in this fight together
