"Sometimes we have to take a step back in order to understand what's under our noses. With his entertaining account of three historical network revolutions, and the reactions they inspired, Tom Wheeler gives us the tools to understand the one we are living through today--and where it might take us tomorrow." --Tom Standage, author, The Victorian Internet "A fascinating review of 500 years of new technology and the challenges as well as opportunities of technological change." --Steve Case, American entrepreneur, founder AOL "Tom Wheeler's From Gutenberg to Google contains page after page of insight about the unexpected ways in which technologies--from movable type and the telegraph to blockchain--have altered what we know and do.

Synopsis
Former FCC chairman Wheeler brings to life the two great network revolutions, the invention of the movable-type printing press and the telegraph. He puts these past revolutions into perspective of today, when rapid changes in networking are upending nearly every aspect of modern life and are laying the foundation for a third network revolution., The two great Western technological revolutions of the past, the invention of movable type in the fifteenth century and the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century, changed the course of economies and societies and radically altered how humans interacted with each other and their world. In this updated edition of From Gutenberg to ......, The two great Western technological revolutions of the past, the invention of movable type in the fifteenth century and the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century, changed the course of economies and societies and radically altered how humans interacted with each other and their world. In this updated edition of From Gutenberg to Google, former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler takes up a still unfolding transformational revolution in twenty-first century technology: artificial intelligence. Building on insights on connectivity developed in the previous edition, Wheeler describes the enormous potential of this fast-expanding and powerful technology and highlights the urgent need for governments across the globe to regulate its use, both to limit opportunities for harm and to engage its capabilities for good., The two great Western technological revolutions of the past, the invention of movable type in the fifteenth century and the Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century, changed the course of economies and societies and radically altered how humans interacted with each other and their world.

    This unique book was priced quite reasonable. The book was advertised as new and arrived in mint condition and in the highest authentic hard cover quality. It Packaging was very good when mailed. I also find communicating with the seller during the shipping process, which was a bit of a wait for a very hard to find book, was very prompt and inspired trust. I highly recommend this seller and will return for future purchases.
