Andrew Keen Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

From the highly acclaimed author of The Internet Is Not the Answer, How to Fix the Future is a compelling new book that showcases global solutions for our digital predicament. Following the Industrial Revolution, civilized societies remade nineteenth-century capitalism into a more humane version of itself, and Keen shows how we can do the same in the wake of the Digital Revolution.As consensus builds around the importance of making sure the Internet remains a force for good, we need a road map of what actions we can take to ensure that the Internet works for us, and not the other way around. Keen identifies five broad strategies to tackle the digital future: competitive innovation, government regulation, consumer choice, social responsibility by business leaders, and education. Traveling the world in order to identify best (and worst) practices in these five areas, Keen moves from Estonia, where tech giants are forming a model for Internet governance, to Germany, whose automobile titans are navigating the future of self-driving cars, to Scandinavia, Korea, and, of course, Silicon Valley. Powerfully argued and deeply engaging, How to Fix the Future provides hope that the future may yet become something that we can look forward to.

In this controversial book, Andrew Keen argues that the Internet has had a disastrous impact on all out lives - and outlines what we must do to change it, before it's too late.

The Internet, created during the Cold War, has now ushered in one of the greatest shifts in society since the Industrial Revolution. There are many positive ways in which the Internet has contributed to the world, but as a society we are less aware of the Internet’s deeply negative effects on our psychology, economy, and culture. In The Internet Is Not the Answer , Andrew Keen, a twenty-year veteran of the tech industry, traces the technological and economic history of the internet from its founding in the 1960s through the rise of the big data companies to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity, and investigates how the internet is reconfiguring our world—often at great cost. In this sharp, witty narrative, informed by the work of other writers, academics, and reporters, as well as his own wide-ranging research and interviews, Keen shows us the tech world, warts and all, and investigates what we can do to make sure the choices we make about the reconfiguring of our society do not lead to unpleasant unforeseen aftershocks.

Das Internet bringt den Menschen mehr Demokratie, wirtschaftlichen Wohlstand und kulturelle Vielfalt. Es ist ein Raum der Transparenz, Offenheit und Gleichberechtigung. Ein Erfolg auf der ganzen Linie. Wer das glaubt, sagt Silicon-Valley-Insider Andrew Keen, liegt völlig falsch. Nicht die Gesellschaft profitiert von einer „hypervernetzten“ Welt, sondern eine elitäre Gruppe junger weißer Männer. Was ihnen immer mehr Reichtum beschert, macht uns in vielerlei Hinsicht ärmer. Das Internet vernichtet Arbeitsplätze, unterbindet den Wettbewerb und befördert Intoleranz und Voyeurismus. Es ist kein Ort der Freiheit, sondern ein Überwachungsapparat, dem wir kosten- und bedenkenlos zuarbeiten. Kurzum: Das Internet ist ein wirtschaftliches, kulturelles und gesellschaftliches Debakel. Andrew Keen liefert eine scharfe, pointierte Analyse unserer vernetzten Welt und zeigt, was sich ändern muss, um ein endgültiges Scheitern des Internets zu verhindern.

A witty and provocative polemic on the 'anything goes' standards of online publishing.
