What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Lots of books talk about what’s happening. This book talks about the why behind the what. It will transform your view of the future.”
—Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Zone to Win
“Successful business leaders, especially in finance, will have to deal with the challenges of phase change. If they do not, their businesses will evaporate into virtual space.”
—Sandy Weill, philanthropist and former CEO, Citigroup
“Terror and war have undergone phase change. Future battles will be fought with new tools using new rules. The winners will leverage many of the ideas in this book.”
—Admiral B. R. Inman, US Navy (Ret.), former Director, National Security Agency
“Davidow and Malone offer an original and exquisite explanation—a new lens into history—as to how new technologies have brought the Industrial Revolution to an end and ushered in the Autonomous Revolution.”
—Amy Webb, Professor, Stern School of Business, New York University
“None of us can yet be sure whether the Autonomous Revolution, now dawning, will turn out to be the third great transformation in human organization and existence, following the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. But William Davidow and Michael Malone argue convincingly that we should start acting as if it will be so we can steer its consequences toward their beneficial potential rather than being victims of each new technological surprise.”
—James Fallows, author, writer, and National Book Award winner
