There are no underground bunkers of supercomputers at the heart of
the Uber miracle. No cloisters of silent technicians guiding Etsy
to its marketplace dominance. Google HQ looks more like a
Scandinavian parliament than a server farm. The truth is, the tech
boom has less to do with a massive explosion of silicon and
aluminum, and much more to do with a massive expansion of the
points of contact between humans and machines. George Anders's YOU
CAN DO ANYTHING is shaped by the insight that the leading lights at
so many ostensibly "tech" firms have deep backgrounds in the
humanities--history, sociology, and, yes, English. Something about
those backgrounds unlocked potential that hordes of anonymous MBAs
and BSs can only wish for. Combining reportage, academic studies,
close contact with tech and business luminaries, fast
action-oriented distillations, and many years of experience reading
the invisible magnetic waves of the business and creator worlds,
Anders is writing the book that will upset (cf: "disrupt") the
conversation between the STEM and the innumerate, between Mountain
View and Main Street, and between parents and children. We all have
the power to think on our feet, to rally others, and to embrace the
exception. We just need to realize the power. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
points us in that direction and shoves.
