Sep 24, 2026

Rhode Island author Tony Jones has released his new book, Making A Case For Holding Political Elections On The Blockchain. The work explores how blockchain technology can create secure, transparent digital voting systems. It is available now at Barnes & Noble.

Narragansett, United States, September 24, 2026 -- NARRAGANSETT, R.I. — September 23, 2026 — Rhode Island author, broadcaster, and media professional Tony Jones has announced the official release of his latest book, Making A Case For Holding Political Elections On The Blockchain, now available nationwide through Barnes & Noble.

The thought-provoking publication explores the rapidly evolving domain of blockchain technology and examines how a decentralization framework, primarily recognized for its role in cryptocurrency holds transformative potential far beyond financial systems. In this comprehensive study, Jones examines the practical concept of leveraging blockchain as a foundational tool for creating tamper-evident, transparent, and independently verifiable digital voting records. By evaluating these technological capabilities, the book offers a forward-looking perspective on what secure digital infrastructure could mean for the future of electoral integrity, democratic processes, and civic participation.

"I've always been interested in the intersection of technology, communication and the way people participate in society," said Jones. "This book gave me an opportunity to explore an emerging technology and ask some interesting questions about where it could take us in the future."

Rather than presenting blockchain as an immediate or absolute solution to current electoral challenges, Jones approaches the topic through a balanced, investigative lens. The book deliberately avoids oversimplified technical hype, opting instead to present a thoughtful examination of emerging possibilities alongside practical considerations. By breaking down intricate technical mechanics into clear, digestible concepts, the work aims to empower everyday readers, civic leaders, and tech enthusiasts to better understand digital trust frameworks and consider how new technologies could shape public institutions in the coming years.

"Technology can sometimes feel intimidating when we don't understand how it works," Jones explained. "I wanted to take a closer look at blockchain and explore the possibilities in a way that encourages people to think about technology differently."

The release represents a significant new addition to Jones' established career as an author, communicator, and media figure. Drawing on his extensive background across media relations, broadcasting, podcasting, writing, and psychology, Jones brings a unique multi-disciplinary lens to complex social and technological topics. His ability to bridge human behavior and emerging technology allows the book to serve as an accessible entry point for anyone interested in the future of public engagement and democratic technology.

For readers seeking to understand how cutting-edge digital tools could eventually impact community governance and national voting systems, Making A Case For Holding Political Elections On The Blockchain offers a timely and insightful exploration.

Making A Case For Holding Political Elections On The Blockchain is currently available through Barnes & Noble. For additional details regarding the book, author updates, or media inquiries, visit the official website at www.tonyjones.org.

TNT brings in Hornsby as new import

Defending PBA Governors’ Cup champion TNT tapped Nick Hornsby as its new import to take the spot of Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson as the team prepares for the resumption of the tournament this October. The Tropang 5G made their official announcement on their social media accounts Thursday. “Bagong Tropa. Bagong armas. Meet the newest addition sa TNT Tropang 5G. Ready to make his mark,” the team posted. “Welcome KaTropa Nick!” The 31-year-old American is seen as a stand-in import with original choice, three-time Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who is still recovering from an Achilles tendon injury he sustained last December. He suffered the Achilles injury while playing for the Meralco Bolts in the East Asia Super League Season 3 home-and-away tournament last December. TNT team manager Jojo Lastimsosa said they don’t want to rush Hollis-Jefferson’s return. “We want to make sure Rondae is fully ready before we put him back on the court. He needs more game simulations and we don’t want to rush his return. We want him as close as 100 percent as possible,” TNT said in a statement. Hornsby is coming off a recent stint with the Edmonton Stingers  in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Hollis-Jefferson, the left-handed American-Jordanian known by his initials RHJ, actually rejoined the team’s practice several weeks back, suiting up for the multi-titled PBA squad during a friendly match against the Jordanian national team, which used it to prepare for the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. TNT though elected to bring Hornsby, more likely to give the do-it-all Hollis-Jefferson more time to get himself back into shape. His brother Rahlir lasted just four games since replacing Darius Day. Rahlir averaged 22.8 points, 12 rebounds and over four assists, where TNT limped to an even 4-4 record, behind the 7-3 cards of NLEX and San Miguel Beer, as well as Converge (5-4) in the Governors’ Cup. The tournament is currently on a break to give way to Gilas’ international tournaments. TNT hopes to secure a win when the tournament restarts on Oct. 7 as the Tropang 5G battles Terrafirma.

Kai Sotto will be returning for another season in Japan after signing with new team Altiri Chiba. The Chiba squad welcomed the 7-foot-3 Sotto through its official announcement on its website on Thursday. “I'm looking forward to joining the club Altiri Chiba. I'm very excited to meet the team, Coach Andrej [Lemanis], the staff, my teammates, and the fans!” Sotto said in a statement posted on the Chiba website.  Sotto was coming off a stint with the Koshigaya Alphas in the Japan B.League 2025-26 season, where he averaged 13.1 points and 9.4 rebounds, as he made a successful return from a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury on his knee. The left-handed Filipino is fresh off a return stint with Gilas Pilipinas, where he averaged 15.5 points, 15 rebounds and 2.0 asssists as the Philippines scored a two-game home sweep against Jordan and Iran in the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers fourth window in Manila. Sotto will be making his much-debut with Chiba on Oct. 3 against the Kawasaki Brave Thunders, with the Japanese squad hoping to improve on its 19-win effort from the previous season. “I'll do everything I can to help this team win and achieve great things this season,” he added. Altiri CEO and representative Yoshihide Niwa  welcomed Sotto to the team. “He is a big man who combines imposing 220cm stature with a soft touch around the rim and the passing vision to bring his teammates into the game,” the Japanese team official said in a statement.
