Synopsis

You can say goodbye to today's Internet, New York Times bestselling author George Gilder says.

Soon the current model of aggregated free content populated with "value-subtracted" advertising will die a natural death, due, of course, to the simple fact that absolutely no one wants to see online advertising. What will tomorrow's Internet look like?

In Life After Google, Gilder takes listeners on a brilliant, rocketing journey into the very near-future, into an Internet with a new "bitcoin-bitgold" transaction layer that will replace spam with seamless micro-payments and provide an all-new standard for global money.

Can't help thinking that it's a bit premature to be, uh, celebrating the death of Google by the Big Data. Or mutual destruction of these two. They might actually surprise us by fiving us another couple of runs for our money and a lot of our other assets. Q: —W. Brian Arthur, Santa Fe Institute, 20171B......more
