Description

Digital technologies are transforming our work and our lives at an unprecedented pace. The Second Machine Age reveals the forces driving this reinvention, as the full impact of digital technologies is felt. Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, two thinkers at the forefront of their field, identify the best strategies for survival and offer a new path to prosperity in a radically transformed landscape. The authors draw on years of research and up-to-the-minute trends to explain how digital technologies are diagnosing diseases more accurately, transforming retailing, and accomplishing many tasks once considered uniquely human. As a result, professions of all kinds will be forever upended, and companies will be forced to transform or die. The authors propose revamping education, designing new collaborations, and embracing policies that make sense in this new landscape. By understanding the forces driving this change, readers can prepare for the next economy and find ways to thrive in a world where digital technologies are increasingly prevalent.
