More Praise for
The Second Machine Age
“Brynjolfsson and McAfee are right: we are on the cusp of a dramatically different world brought on by technology.
The Second Machine Age
is the book for anyone who wants to thrive in it. I’ll encourage all of our entrepreneurs to read it, and hope their competitors don’t.”
