I agree about BitTorrent point. I have read everything published by Bram Cohen (an author of BitTorrent) and the best read I can recommend is Shneidman's paper "Faithfulness in internet algorithms" [1] which has some deep reflections on the reasons which made such things as BitTorrent and cryptocurrencies possible. I can not say this paper is about AI but I claim that this is a foundational paper for the Internet age.
