Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy Free Audiobook Download by George Gilder


The job market in the United States is changing with a new economy emerging. George Gilder argues that the reason for this change is owing to the massive overconsumption of information that took place in the last decades. The data-driven Internet, much like the industrial revolution before it, has been historically good for producing goods and services. But as Web 2.0 changes how we shop, socialize, and work, some people claim the economy is shifting towards industrial innovation and entrepreneurship rather than just consumption. Gilder believes that this shift towards self-sufficiency can be attributed to a new number of factors including technological advances such as blockchain technology and Big Data

This audiobook is a powerful reminder that the internet, in all its forms, will change more than just our lives. George Gilder argues that when big data and the technology behind it are forced out of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, our lives will be better for it.

George Gilder starts off by explaining what happened post-Google, beginning with the sudden "death" of Big Data, which was supposed to be the foundation for Google's dominance. He then goes on to discuss how Big Data failed us, and how the rise of Blockchain technology will replace it. The author breaks down a number of areas where Big Data failed us and explores why blockchain may actually be a better solution.

George Gilder, a renowned author and economist, argues that the power of big data is currently in the hands of few. Big Data was created to make our lives more efficient and help us find patterns we wouldn't have been able to before. But now, Gilder claims that this tool has been abused and centralized in a way that doesn't benefit society but rather it benefits the few who control it. He believes that what produces the best results are regions like Silicon Valley where the individual is not replaced with code but instead human beings are empowered by knowledge.

George Gilder, an influential writer on technology and economics, says that the Big Data economy is coming to an end. He believes that the long-term economic prospects for the United States will be determined by what we do in the next few decades. If we take advantage of new technology, such as blockchain and "smart contracts," then our economy will grow. He believes this new economy will not be built on big data but rather on small data from decentralized platforms.

George Gilder's essay, Life After Google: The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy offers a number of insights into how technology has both increased our productivity and created a completely new more sustainable economic landscape. Following his analysis, Gilder points out that "the internet is becoming more decentralized as it joins people who are opening to each other in search for information." He also notes that "while Facebook and Google have always been advertising businesses, now they are also competitors."
