Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A careful, detailed teardown of the people, culture and technology behind the world's most dynamic social network, TikTok. It is rare for a business analysis to read like a thriller - this one does." - Azeem Azhar, Founder, Exponential View TikTok is the fastest growing app in the world, and the first to challenge Silicon Valley's dominance of social media. Donald Trump claimed it was a threat to US security and tried to outlaw it. India has banned TikTok. Do the concerns about TikTok's Chinese ownership justify TikTok's treatment in the West? How has it taken over the world in just a few years, and what does its success mean for the future of technology? In TikTok Boom, journalist and author of YouTubers, Chris Stokel-Walker has interviewed hundreds of people connected to the short-form video app. He also goes behind the scenes at its ambitious Chinese owner, ByteDance, which is on its way to becoming Beijing's Google.TikTok Boom presents a nuanced, informed and incisive read on the characters and strategies behind the world's new tech order.Praise for TikTok Boom: "TikTok is perhaps the fastest growing and most addictive social media tool yet created. This book is vital to understanding how it works and the impact it's having." - Damian Collins, former chairman of the House of CommonsDigital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee In TikTok Boom, Stokel-Walker matches the unparalleled breadth and scale of growth of the Chinese platform with remarkable depth and spectacular wisdom. Blending journalistic narrative with state-of-the-art academic research, no other author comes close to weaving this epic tale of the rise of China's first global platform threatening Silicon's Valley hegemony while operating as inflection point around the rise of one globe two Internet systems. This is a must read for students, scholars, and policy makers. - David Craig, Clinical Professor, USC Annenberg "It's clear that Stokel-Walker's strength is that he's not just TikTok-literate, he's TikTok-fluent. He knows the product, the people, and the entire ecosystem inside and out, and it is this familiarity that makes his telling so compelling, because he knows how to make you feel like you, too, are an insider in this strange new world." - Rui Ma, founder, Tech Buzz China" This book charts the story of an app on the rise that's changing the world of tech, charting the future of culture, and creating a new world of work: the creator economy.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut Einband vorne und hinten Ecke angestoßen -Fast-paced business book that explains TikTok 'It is rare for a business analysis to read like a thriller - this one does.' - Azeem Azhar, Exponential View 'A must-read for students, scholars, and policymakers.' - David Craig, Professor, USC Annenberg TikTok didn't just arrive - it detonated. In a handful of years, a short video app from ByteDance, a Chinese tech company few people outside the industry had heard of, surged past entrenched platforms and reshaped what the internet looks like: how we watch, how we shop, how music breaks, how language evolves, and how fame is manufactured at scale. In TikTok Boom, journalist Chris Stokel Walker takes you behind the screen to reveal how the world's favourite app became a global force. This is the rare business and technology story that reads with the pace of a thriller -because the stakes are real. TikTok isn't only entertainment; it's a platform powered by an astonishing recommendation algorithm, a fast moving creator economy, and a company operating at the centre of an East meets West superpower contest. Whether you're a creator trying to go viral, a marketer building a smarter social media strategy, a founder studying product growth, or simply curious about how your 'For You' page seems to know you better than you do, TikTok Boom is your essential guide to understanding what makes TikTok tick - and why it matters for culture, commerce, and power. What you'll discover inside: The origin story: how TikTok evolved, scaled, and outmanoeuvred rivals in the attention war. The engine under the scroll: how TikTok's algorithm, data signals, and feedback loops shape what you see-minute by minute-and why it feels so addictive. The new rules of influence: how trends are engineered, remixed, and amplified, and how creators turn seconds of video into careers. TikTok for business, without the buzzwords: what brands can learn from the platform's style of storytelling, community, and discovery. The hidden hand of moderation: content guidelines, enforcement, and the subtle ways they can change what becomes visible (and what disappears). The ByteDance ambition: the people who built the machine, the company culture behind it, and the friction that followed as TikTok expanded worldwide. The geopolitical tension around Chinese tech: scrutiny, bans, and political flashpoints that turned a social app into an international headline. Stokel Walker draws on deep reporting and interviews with people connected to TikTok - from company insiders to creators in front of the camera - bringing clarity to the myths, controversies, and hype. You'll come away with a sharper understanding of why TikTok feels different from Instagram, YouTube, or Snapchat; why 'going viral' on TikTok follows a distinct logic; and how algorithmic discovery has changed the value of followers, fame, and attention. And because this is written by a journalist - not a hype merchant - you'll also see the bigger picture: how platforms police speech, how algorithms can quietly reshape culture, and why a seemingly 'fun' app has become a battleground for influence and trust. Praise for TikTok Boom: 'It is rare for a business analysis to read like a thriller - this one does.' - Azeem Azhar, Exponential View 'Vital to understanding how TikTok works and the impact it's having.' - Damian Collins MP This isn't a 'get followers overnight' handbook. It's something far more useful: a sophisticated, readable explanation of the system underneath the scroll. By the final page, y 288 pp. Englisch.
