George Gilder shows how deep this assumption goes, what motivates people to make it, and why its wrong: the future depends on human action. Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies and author of Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Futureu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But its coming to an end. In Life after Google, George Gilderthe peerless visionary of technology and cultureexplains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Googles astonishing ability to search and sort attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodiesvideos, maps, email, calendars .And everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of aggregate and advertise worksfor a whileif you control an empire of data centers, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of ads.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e The crisis is not just economic. Even as advances in artificial intelligence induce delusions of omnipotence and transcendence, Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the cryptocosmthe new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, NEO and Hashgraph, it will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a great unbundling, which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Life after Google is almost here.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003ciu003eFor fans of "Wealth and Poverty," "Knowledge and Power," and "The Scandal of Money." u003c/iu003e
