Life After Google by George Gilder
The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy
This book argues that the current ad-driven, centralized internet architecture dominated by a few platform giants is economically fragile and inimical to privacy, and that advances in cryptography, decentralized protocols, micropayments and edge computing can create a replacement built on distributed trust. It critiques surveillance-based business models and the limits of machine-learning monopolies, proposes public-key identity, blockchain-style ledgers and token incentives to reward creators and secure transactions, and forecasts that shifts in infrastructure—bandwidth, low-latency networks and hardware—will enable a new, more private and market-oriented digital economy.
