'An indispensable guide.' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn
'Tech's most valuable teacher.' Forbes Silicon Valley's leading
intellectual and the founder of O'Reilly Media explores the upside
and the potential downsides of our future - what he calls the 'next
economy'. Tim O'Reilly's genius is to identify and explain emerging
technologies with world shaking potential - the World Wide Web,
Open Source Software, Web 2.0, Open Government data, the Maker
Movement, Big Data. 'The man who can really can make a whole
industry happen,' according to Executive Chairman of Google Eric
Schmidt, O'Reilly has most recently focused on the future of work -
AI, algorithms, and new approaches to business organisation that
will shape our lives. He has brought together an unlikely coalition
of technologists, business leaders, labour advocates, and policy
makers to wrestle with these issues. In WTF? he shares the
evolution of his intellectual development, applying his approach to
a number of challenging issues we will face as citizens, employees,
business leaders, and a nation. What is the future when an
increasing number of jobs can be performed by intelligent machines
instead of people, or only done by people in partnership with those
machines? What happens to our consumer based societies - to workers
and to the companies that depend on their purchasing power? Is
income inequality and unemployment an inevitable consequence of
technological advancement, or are there paths to a better future?
What will happen to business when technology-enabled networks and
marketplaces are better at deploying talent than traditional
companies? What's the future of education when on-demand learning
outperforms traditional institutions? Will the fundamental social
safety nets of the developed world survive the transition, and if
not, what will replace them? The digital revolution has transformed
the world of media, upending centuries-old companies and business
models. Now, it is restructuring every business, every job, and
every sector of society. Yet the biggest changes are still ahead.
To survive, every industry and organisation will have to transform
itself in multiple ways. O'Reilly explores what the next economy
will mean for the world and every aspect of our lives - and what we
can do to shape it.
