Vaporized: Solid Strategies for Success in a Dematerialized World
About This Book:
Digital technology has overturned entire industries and irrevocably altered the way we live and work. But the changes are far from over: now, tech is set to transform our planet and society in once unimaginable ways.
In his groundbreaking new book Vaporized, Robert Tercek takes us inside the world’s largest cultural and economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution, and explains what it means for consumers, employers, and policymakers.
Tercek does for digital business theory what Malcolm Gladwell has done for sociology, translating a complex subject into approachable and relevant terms. Insightful and optimistic, Tercek presents a practical blueprint for survival that no business leader, from Fortune 500 CEO to small startup owner, can afford to ignore.
