A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

An important read for anyone curious about what the future might look like...the end of big is hitting many aspects of our lives. And Mele makes us seriously think about the world we live in today and, more importantly, how we'd like to live in it tomorrow. --Fortune. Anyone who is not asleep is unsettled by the speed and sweep of technological change, as it upends our workplace, our institutions, leisure, culture, individual and communal behavior. To comprehend the awesome changes we have and will experience, the opportunities and the pitfalls, Nicco Mele's The End of Big is a clear-eyed, compellingly written account bursting with vivid anecdotes and analysis. --Ken Auletta, New Yorker writer and author of Greed and Glory on Wall Street, World War 3.0, and Googled In The End of Big, forecaster Nicco Mele - one of the internet's early masters - looks technology squarely in the eye and asks the hard questions: Exactly how powerful is our new-found connectivity, and what's its effect on the media? On politics and government? On business? And on our culture? If you want to know what's really going on, get this book - and see the future and your options with new eyes. --Alex Castellanos, Political Consultant and Media Commentator. The intense and direct way the Internet and smart mobile devices connect us and the planet challenges existing institutional arrangements everywhere we look. The End of Big presents a provocative analysis of a world on the cusp of disruptive change and asks if we have the vision and will to remake it along small-d democratic lines. Mitch Kapor, founder, Lotus Development Corp. --Various
