Reviews
The authors explain the whys and hows soberly, answering just about every question on AI you could ask: which channels it will colonise next, whether we'll still need physical products in a virtual world and how Bitcoin will change commerce, among others. Throughout, they are eloquent and informed. They don't think humans will be obsolete, but they also don't pretend the solutions are simple., This is a book for managers whose companies sit well back from the edge and who would like a digestible introduction to technology trends that may not have reached their doorstep--yet., The digital revolution we're entering can be unsettling, but McAfee and Brynjolfsson show how these incredibly powerful technologies will make our choices more important than ever. Machine Platform Crowd is a road map for leaders to make wise choices as they navigate this new world., The authors aptly illustrate how the extraordinary progress of technology is reshaping our lives, and they share powerful ideas relevant to world leaders.... The book is a must-read for policymakers who seek a road map for how to combine the strengths of humanity and technology to build a better future for their citizens., McAfee and Brynjolfsson are thoughtful observers of the emerging technological revolution which they described in their earlier The Second Machine Age.... They write clearly and are at their most devastating in analyzing how the various elements of the new age combine, wiping out large sectors of media, retail and music industries as they have gone., Such is the speed of development in these emergent technologies that it is refreshing to take a step back and a look at some of the ways in which our lives and careers are changing--and will continue to change--at a fundamental level. Happily this volume by Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson offers exactly this opportunity, using their deep knowledge of the business and technology sectors to build a detailed, cogent and conversational guide to where we are and where we are going. The story is warmly and richly told, using footnotes approaching a third of a page in length when things get really exciting, and amply supported by notes, references and links. This book is in many senses a primer, a thorough grounding for the digital warrior in the driving forces of the 21st-century economy., Written... with real human intelligence, concern, feeling, and values. [Machine Platform Crowd] is a big, intense, always interesting, and almost intimidating book--and well worth the effort., 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., The authors aptly illustrate how the extraordinary progress oftechnology is reshaping our lives, and they share powerful ideas relevant toworld leaders. Nobody knows exactly how this future will unfold. What we doknow is that the disruptive power of technology must be seized as anopportunity to design our future. The book compels us to ponder: will we applytechnology to help accelerate development, improve living standards, and fosterinclusive growth? Will we take advantage of its power to cut red tape, investin education, unleash entrepreneurial energy, and create new kinds of jobs? Thebook is a must-read for policymakers who seek a road map for how to combine thestrengths of humanity and technology to build a better future for theircitizens., On their own, AI, platforms, and crowds are all transformative forces. That they're evolving in parallel means we're beginning to experience a new era of networked disruption, where productive but disorienting change becomes the status quo. For citizens, entrepreneurs, companies, and governments who want to successfully navigate this new world, the first step lies in finding reliable and prescient guides. Andrew and Erik are two of the best., The story is warmly and richly told....
