Description
Book Synopsis: A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: "Nothing Mr. Gilder says or writes is ever delivered at anything less than the fullest philosophical decibel... Mr. Gilder sounds less like a tech guru than a poet, and his words tumble out in a romantic cascade."
“Google’s algorithms assume the world’s future is nothing more than the next moment in a random process. George Gilder shows how deep this assumption goes, what motivates people to make it, and why it’s wrong: the future depends on human action.” — Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies and author of Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
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.

Looking for a groundbreaking read that challenges the status quo? Look no further than "Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy." With his unparalleled vision, George Gilder forecasts the end of the Google era and the dawn of a new technological age. Don't miss out on this Financial Times Book of the Month that will revolutionize your understanding of the future.
Google has reigned supreme in the Age of Big Data, mastering the art of search algorithms and machine intelligence. However, Silicon Valley is now experiencing a major upheaval, and Gilder explains why in this thought-provoking book. Countless users flock to Google's search engine and free services, but what they don't realize is that they pay with their attention and personal data. This "aggregate and advertise" model stifles innovation, leading to an internet overrun with advertisements that strangle entrepreneurial spirit.
This crisis extends beyond mere economics. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, the security measures taken by Silicon Valley have failed to keep pace. The internet, once seen as a haven for personal information, has become a breeding ground for breaches. Gilder argues that the current computer and network architecture cannot resolve this crisis. Instead, he unveils the solution lies within the "cryptocosm" – the revolutionary architecture of blockchain technology and its derivatives.
With the rise of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, ether, NEO, and Hashgraph, the cryptocosm promises to provide a secure, global payments system. The aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google will be replaced by a new era marked by dispersed computer power and commerce. Prepare yourself for the "great unbundling" of Silicon Valley that will transform the economy and the internet as we know it.
Don't get left behind - life after Google is almost here. Join George Gilder on this journey of discovery and secure your copy of "Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy" today to explore the possibilities of the future.
