getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.
Entrepreneur and America Online (AOL) founder Steve Case urges corporate America to embrace the Internet's "Third Wave." Using terms drawn from futurist Alvin Toffler, Case explains the current wave as the successor to the "First Wave" of infrastructure development and the work of pioneering companies like AOL. He says the "Second Wave" saw timely leveraging by early movers such as Google and Amazon. Case interweaves his story of business success with the saga of AOL, a faltering tech start-up that became a corporate giant. Case details the machinations of AOL's merger with Time Warner and the rifts and errors that led to its decline. And, yes, it's still really interesting. getAbstract recommends Case's call to act on the opportunities of the disruptive, decentralized, tech-enabled Third Wave to entrepreneurs, policy makers and corporate executives.
