"A clear and crisply written account of machine intelligence, big data
and the sharing economy. But McAfee and Brynjolfsson also wisely
acknowledge the limitations of their futurology and avoid
over-simplification." ―Financial Times
In The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson
predicted some of the far-reaching effects of digital technologies on
our lives and businesses. Now they've written a guide to help readers
make the most of our collective future. Machine - Platform - Crowd
outlines the opportunities and challenges inherent in the science
fiction technologies that have come to life in recent years, like
self-driving cars and 3D printers, online platforms for renting outfits
and scheduling workouts, or crowd-sourced medical research and financial
instruments.
