Machine, Platform, Crowd Harnessing Our Digital Future

We live in strange times. A machine plays the strategy game Go better than any human; upstarts like Apple and Google destroy industry stalwarts such as Nokia; ideas from the crowd are repeatedly more innovative than corporate research labs. In The Second Machine Age, Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson predicted some of the far-reaching effects of digital technologies on our lives and businesses. Now they've written a guide to help readers make the most of our collective future. Machine, Platform, Crowd outlines the opportunities and challenges inherent in the science fiction-worthy technologies that have come to life in recent years, like self-driving cars and 3D printers, online platforms for renting outfits and scheduling workouts, or crowd-sourced medical research and financial instruments.

the graphs were the best part, tbh. it's a reference book more than something for pithy quotes or anything. will refer to it again.

Dijital Dönüşüm farkındalığı yavaştan oluştu ama pek çok konuda olduğu gibi popülist söylemlerle altını boşaltmaya devam ediyor. Temelde bu dönüşümü sağlayan noktalara daha fazla kafa yormamız lazım. Daha önce The Second Machine Age kitabından tanıdığımız yazarlar bu sefer dijital dönüşümü 3 temel noktada irdeliyor. Makine'ler ve makinelerin birbirleri ile konuşmaya başlaması, sonrasında platformlar ve platform ekonomileri ve toplulukların bir araya gelerek ortaya çıkardığı eserler. Kitabın Türkçe versiyonu henüz yayınlanmadı. Umarım kısa sürede yayınlanır.
