5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any person serious about technology and/or business
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019

In one word: brilliant. This is the first time in my life I buy 7 copies of a book and offer them to colleagues. When I first read the book, I thought I didn’t want any of my competitors to read it... but given the quality of the book I guess it’s just a matter of time. It is full of useful mental models to better understand technology, businesses and the world. It helps to deal with the unknown and unpredictable. It helps to understand the new with the old. It helps to remember the future. It’s useful for entrepreneurs, investors (from VC to PE and HF), journalists, strategists, and anyone interested in technology and/or businesse really.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best technology book of 2018
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018

This is the best technology book I read this past year. Clemons does a terrific job framing some of the biggest issues facing technology companies. The highlights:

1) Newly Vulnerable Markets: a great framework for thinking through how new entrants will disrupt incumbents.
2) Resonance Marketing: how some of the most hated products are also the most profitable.
3) Google: How Mandatory Participation Third Party Payer can lead to abuse.

Highly recommend this book! Very enjoyable and informative read!

This is essential for anyone running or investing in businesses with a technology component. It explains why the companies that dominate do so and the conditions for further disruption. A compelling and essential framework for strategists in this new age.
