ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Life after Google by George Gilder delves into the dominant influence of Google's "system of the world" on technology and society, characterized by free information and advertising-driven revenue. The book explores the foundational principles and potential vulnerabilities of this model. It then pivots to examine the emerging "cryptocosm," driven by technologies like blockchain, as a potential paradigm shift that prioritizes security, decentralization, and individual ownership of data. Gilder investigates how this new technological landscape could lead to a fundamental restructuring of the internet and the digital economy.
