"A true visionary, Steve Case understood years ago the tectonic shifts that were to occur in society. Case's book, The Third Wave, clarifies for leaders the decisions necessary to thrive in an increasingly disrupted future." Alvin and Heidi Toffler, authors of the original The Third Wave (1908). "One of the world's most accomplished entrepreneurs - a pioneer who made the Internet part of everyday life - shares his vision of the future. Steve Case draws on his decades of pioneering work as an entrepreneur and an investor to explain how we are entering a new era, ne that will upend major industires and create a renaissance of entrepreneurship: the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The First Wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. In the Second Wave, companies like Google and Facebook built upon the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone revolution to become overnight successes. Now, Case argues, we're entering the Third Wave: a period in which enterepreneurs will use technology to revolutionize major "real world" sectors - including healthcare, edducation, transportation, energy, and food - and in the process transform the way we live. Part memoir, part manifesto, part playbook for the future, The Third Wave is essential reading for anyone who whats to survive - and to thrive - in this rapidly changing digital age." - from the inner front jacket flap.
