Summary
The cofounder of America Online and the Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship shares a roadmap to success for future innovators.Steve Case was on the leading edge of the Internet revolution when he cofounded AOL in 1991. He was an entrepreneur in a business that hadn't even been invented, yet he saw how significantly his efforts could change not only America, but the world. In The Third Wave, Case uses his insights garnered from nearly four decades of working as an innovator, investor, and businessperson to chart a path for future visionaries. From his position as an investor in startups like Zipcar and LivingSocial, Case predicts the future of the economy and describes what he calls the "Third Wave of the Internet." AOL and other companies introduced early consumers to the Internet in the first wave; search giants such as Google and companies such as Apple have led us into the second wave, the app economy; and the third wave will be "the Internet of things," in which every experience, product, and service will be transacted online. Using his own experience, and examples from companies he's invested in, he lays out a vision for the future of success in a disrupted age.
Absolutely adored this book and had the opportunity to meet Steve during his book tour after its release. The book provides incredible insights that are valuable for advising strategic approaches when it comes to navigating upcoming innovations. I thoroughly enjoyed this business book! It offers an exceptional blend of historical lessons and forward-thinking guidance. I truly wish Steve could be my mentor! Nonetheless, reading this book allows me to gain some valuable advice from him!
This book is a real gem, filled with genuinely inspiring stories and anecdotes from a highly accomplished entrepreneur. It's truly motivating and packed with valuable insights.
This book is awesome! It offers valuable insights and lessons for anyone interested in business, startups, or entrepreneurship. The author shares captivating stories and even takes us on a journey through the history of AOL and the internet. I highly recommend reading or listening to it. It's definitely worth your time.
The narrator is a little flat, but at least he's clear and it's always interesting to hear an author in their own words, except that he says in the end that the book was partially his work and also the product of a team assemble to write the book for him.
The book is interesting. It seems to be essentially a pitch to the average citizen to get involved with a predicted new wave of technology whether you're in tech, the government, a consumer, or a would be entrepreneur. I can't say that I, or anyone else, would agree with all this policy recommendations, but it is an interesting look into the mind and thinking of a person who has led and extra-ordinary life.
