Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy

I can only say... this is scary and gives you a lot to think of. It is a book we will be looking back in time in some 20 years and go "He did warn us though". Beautiful.

Worth the read. I plan on going through it's pages again.

Das Buch springt von einem Thema zum anderen und überhäuft einen mit allen möglichen Name, Daten usw. Zwischenzeitlich versteht man schon gar nicht mehr worum es überhaupt geht und was das alles mit Google zu tun haben soll.

Scritto in inglese ma comprensibile. Una ottima visione del futuro

George Gilder is one of the big thinkers on our planet right now. In this book he argues that we are leaving the world of google ‘big data’ and entering the world of ‘blockchain’. That is, we are moving away from the world where all our data is centrally held by the technology companies, in favour of our data being held by the individual. Blockchain provides financially-secure, crypto-currency technology that hands back power to the individual, while allowing all financial transactions to be transparently evidenced on the internet.Gilder refers to Sir Isaac Newton as developing a ‘system of the world’, which not only accounted for the laws of physics but also for developing a gold-standard. It led to the wealth of the British Empire. Google and other tech companies have developed a second ‘system of the world’, which has led to the rise of globalism and invested power in the hand of organisations such as google. This has been referred to as ‘Google Marxism’.Block chain technology fixes the faults in an internet that was never constructed to handle financial transactions securely. It also puts ‘Individualism’ rather than ‘collectivism’ back on the map.
