Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy
George Gilder
Regenery Gateway, 2018, 256 pages
Summary
This is an immensely important book about the epistemological models driving our economy and Google in particular. It reveals the values behind Google and the outcomes of their vision of a “free stuff” world. Gilder warns that security and privacy are impossible when the collection of data is the goal and delivering data about you to others is the product.
