How Technology has Changed the Way We Live.
With his knowing eye and wicked pen, Michael Lewis reveals how much the Internet boom has encouraged the great changes in the way we live, work, and think. He finds that we are in the midst of one of the greatest status revolutions in the history of the world, and the Internet turns out to be a weapon in the hands of revolutionaries.
In the new order of things, the amateur, or individual, is king: fourteen-year-old children manipulate the stock market and nineteen-year olds take down the music industry. Deep, unseen forces are undermining all forms of collectivism, from the family to the mass market. Where does it all lead? And will we like where we end up?
In 'The Future Just Happened' Michael Lewis argues that not only does our generation now have the easiest access to more information than ever before, but that new technology is a Trojan Horse for important social changes that are far more interesting than technology itself.
For example, since the rise of Silicon Valley, management structures have been turned upside down, creating a situation where those who can navigate towards success in the twenty-first century are no longer the high-ranking directors but the technologically-trained youth.
