内容简介
······
In an unparalleled collaboration, two leading global thinkers in technology and foreign affairs give us their widely anticipated, transformational vision of the future: a world where everyone is connected–a world full of challenges and benefits that are ours to meet and harness.
Eric Schmidt is one of Silicon Valley's great leaders, having taken Google from a small start-up to one of the world's most influential companies. Jared Cohen is the director of Google Ideas and a former adviser to both secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton; he was instrumental in helping shape the way the U.S. government thinks about technology. Schmidt and Cohen have traveled the world–from the hot spots of the Middle East and Africa to the more stable European and Asian nations–meeting with world leaders, entrepreneurs, and activists to see and hear firsthand about the challenges they face. With the authors' combined knowledge and on-the-ground experiences, they are uniquely positioned to take on some of the toughest questions about our future: Who will be more powerful in the future, the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or harder to carry out? What is the relationship between privacy and security, and how much will we have to give up to be part of the new digital age? How will war, diplomacy, and revolution change when everyone is connected, and how can we tip the balance in a beneficial way? When broken societies are rebuilt, what will they be able to do with technology?
In this groundbreaking book, Schmidt and Cohen combine observations about the physical world with their insights into our digital future to outline in great detail and scope all the promise and peril awaiting us in the coming decades. At once pragmatic and inspirational–and wholly fascinating–this is a forward-thinking account of where our world is headed and what this means for people, states, nations, and businesses.

评论 ······
#read#处在不同位置的人确实看问题的角度很不一样，相比消费电子常提的life style，这本书谈的是对公共性的社会性的life style的影响，虽然都是当下在发生的事，但作为梳理现状的读物还不错。最让我读来紧张就是提到data permanance，人在互联网下的无处遁形。啊，要写个读书笔记orz
Blah. Not even well written.
唉，这本书可不单单是读过，而是亲笔译过了。只是能不能出版遥遥无期。说真心话，作者的文笔是差了点，但观点犀利，对未来的洞见也值得大家思考。出版快两年来，许多事情都证实了书中的预言。如能出版中文版，善莫大焉。（这是首尾呼应的写作手法，还是祥林嫂的喋喋不休呢？）
科技長足發展創造了平行時空（虛擬世界），使其與自然（物理）世界共存共生. 技術憑藉其迭代演進，呈指數型蓬勃進化態勢，科技本身已自成生命體，人機交互，萬物加速互聯. 同時科技倫理引人深思. 未來已來，未來可期.
