The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But it is coming to an end. Life after Google explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns. 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.
Praise for Life After Google
“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
