Review
"Everyone complains about the Internet, but no one does anything about it . . . except for Jaron Lanier."--Neal Stephenson "bestselling author of Reamde and Cryptonomicon "
"This ambitious book is about how to help ordinary people survive and prosper at a time when advances in computer technology make it increasingly difficult for some people to find a job."--USA Today
"A smart, accessible book that takes a critical look at our online state of affairs and finds it out of balance."--Carolyn Kellogg, The Los Angeles Times
"Brilliant."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"This book is rare. It looks at technology with an insider's knowledge, wisdom, and deep caring about human beings. It's badly needed."--W. Brian Arthur "economist and author of The Nature of Technology "
"Who Owns the Future? is a deeply original and sometimes startling read. Lanier does not simply question the dominant narrative of our times, but picks it up by the neck and shakes it. A refreshing and important book that will make you see the world differently."--Tim Wu "author of The Master Switch "
"The most important book I read [this year] . . . Provocative, unconventional ideas for ensuring that the inevitable dominance of software in every corner of society will be healthy instead of harmful." --Joe Nocera, The New York Times
"Daringly original . . . Lanier's sharp, accessible style and opinions make Who Owns the Future? terrifically inviting."--Janet Maslin "The New York Times "
"Who Owns the Future? explains what's wrong with our digital economy, and tells us how to fix it. Listen up!"--George Dyson "bestselling author of Turing's Cathedral "
