The Second Machine Age

The Second Machine Age by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee explores the impact of digital technologies such as hardware, software and networks on our economy and personal lives. The authors reveal the challenges and opportunities these technologies bring and offer strategies for survival and prosperity in the face of change. They propose revamping education, embracing new collaborations, and adopting policies that address the radically transformed landscape. This book is fundamentally optimistic and changes the way we think about progress in technology, society, and the economy.
