GEORGE GILDER, one of the leading economic and technological thinkers of the past forty years, is the author of nineteen books, including Wealth and Poverty, Life after Television, Knowledge and Power, and The Scandal of Money. A founding fellow of the Discovery Institute, where he began his study of information theory, and an influential venture investor, he lives with his wife in western Massachusetts.
The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But it’s coming to an end. In Life after Google, George Gilder—the peerless visionary of technology and culture—explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns.
Google’s astonishing ability to “search and sort” attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies—videos, maps, email, calendars….And everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of “aggregate and advertise” works—for a while—if you control an empire of data centers, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of ads.
The crisis is not just economic. Even as advances in artificial intelligence induce delusions of omnipotence and transcendence, Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable.
The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the “cryptocosm”—the new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, NEO and Hashgraph, it will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google.
Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a “great unbundling,” which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet.
Life after Google is almost here.
这部作品如同科技界的禅学。 鼓动我们相信不可能的东西。 让我们相信互联网是万物皆空。相信个体最重要,相信为个人利益服务的区块链经济最重要。 过去,马克思经济学的根本缺陷在于他相信当时的工业革命时代能够生产出足够丰富的商品,使得问题从「生产匮乏」转向「过剩再分配...
评分这本书给人的感觉是名字很丰满,但内容很骨感。名字相当先声夺人,敢拿时代做文章,而其副标题更是霸气侧漏,名曰“大数据的衰落及区块链经济的崛起”,这样的名字想不激起人们的无限遐想,引起人们抑制不住的好奇心都不可能,然而满腔的期待换来的却是满头的凉水,其令人失望...
评分我们正处在一个科技不断进步与发展的时代,科学技术是第一生产力,一直作为一项方针大力推崇。确实如此,随着科学技术的发展,人们的生活水平变得越来越好,衣食住行变得更加快捷,你身边最与之紧密联系的就是手机。真可以说是,一机在手,天下我有。这就是科技带来的。 对我来...
评分我喜欢fall以及raise这样的动词,会有史诗感,比如说蝙蝠侠三部曲,又比如说魔兽中的诸神黄昏都连用了这种动词。 香侬一个不小心就把全世界连了起来,马尔科夫可能自己都没搞明白生不逢时的他自己怎么就创建了谷歌以及大数据帝国。 本书读起来十分过瘾,很难放下来,找到了读武...
评分英文版也是2018年出的,算比较新的书。作者在书中两次提到他今年78岁了。 旁征博引型,看开头几章完全想不到作者是要鼓吹区块链和比特币,以为是在探讨谷歌的商业模式的缺陷。 但是逻辑和证据都不足,没有严密的推导,只是说因为谷歌不重视安全,所以重视安全的区块链和比特币...
标题大,陈词滥调,前几章就看不下去了都是些老话翻来覆去
评分服务是“免费的”,那么使用者就不再是消费者,而成为了“产品”本身,用自己的注意力和时间为免费服务买单。而如今我们最稀缺的资源,恰恰是“时间”。
评分过于杂乱
评分说实话,我觉得有些废话太多,拿google做靶子,但是区块链本身的论证又不够详实
