商品描述
Dele Atanda’s ground-breaking book examines the new cultural and social evolution that is driven by the power, opportunity and thirst for information afforded by the internet. Could technology be changing the fundamentals of human existence? Since the birth of the internet, humans have been empowered by their ability to connect with every corner of the globe, retrieve information in a heartbeat and expand their knowledge beyond all of their horizons. Causing drastic social-political changes, many experts believe the internet could be changing the very fundamentals of human existence. One such expert is Dele Atanda, author of ‘The Digitterian Tsunami: Web 3.0 and the Rise of the NEO Citizen (Volume 1: The 21 Principles Driving The Evolution of The Internet)’, a ground-breaking new book that shines a vital spotlight on how the internet is driving global change. Synopsis: The Arab Spring uprising, the electoral victories of President Obama, the emergence of new currencies such as Bitcoin and the rise of WikiLeaks and online activist groups like Anonymous were all inevitable events driven by predictable social-cultural trends enabled by the Internet. Though originally written in 2009, the twenty-one key principles driving the evolution of the Internet identified in The Digitterian Tsunami have already proved themselves with social-political changes we have seen over the past few years. Atanda suggests that we are on the cusp of a new era of cultural revolution and social evolution driven by an unprecedented expansion of opportunity, knowledge, and empowered citizens. He suggests that the Internet is changing the ways in which we interact with each other and shape our societies, our selves and our environment as a whole and projects likely outcomes from these changes. The first volume in the series defines the 21 key principles driving the next wave of the Internet's evolution and describes the emergence of a new citizenry, New Earth Order or NEO Citizens, enabled by this phenomenon and how they will use the Digitterian Tsunami to further their objectives in the digital age. The Digitterian Tsunami is less a book on technology than a look at how technology is changing the fundamentals of our existence. It represents a new citizen-centric perspective on the digital revolution and differs significantly from the corporatochratic view of other writers on the subject. As the author explains, the book is applicable to an eclectic and far-reaching audience. “It is a must-read for digital practitioners, strategists, policy makers, business managers, marketers, social activists, technologists, academics, students, and citizens seeking to understand the currents underlying the Internet-driven changes in our world today,” says Atanda, a renowned thought-leader on emerging digital culture. Continuing, “The gradual onset of the internet’s influence means many haven’t consciously registered its effects on the fabrics of society, politics and the economy. Huge strides have been made, both forwards and backwards; this book examines each one in authoritative detail.” Critics praise the author for releasing such a thought-provoking analysis; with many urging interested readers to purchase their copies as soon as possible.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
德萊·阿坦達(Dele Atanda)開創性的著作探討了由互聯網所帶來的資訊力量、機會和渴望所驅動的新文化和社會演變。科技是否正在改變人類存在的基本面?自互聯網誕生以來,人類因能夠與全球每個角落連接、瞬間檢索資訊並擴展知識而獲得了權力。許多專家認為,互聯網正在引發劇烈的社會政治變化,甚至可能改變人類存在的根本。德萊·阿坦達就是其中一位專家,他是《數位海嘯:Web 3.0與新公民的崛起(第一卷:推動互聯網演變的21個原則)》的作者,這本開創性的書籍聚焦於互聯網如何推動全球變革。
簡介:阿拉伯之春的起義、歐巴馬總統的選舉勝利、新貨幣如比特幣的出現,以及維基解密和像匿名者這樣的在線活動組織的崛起,都是由互聯網所促成的可預測的社會文化趨勢所驅動的必然事件。儘管這本書最初於2009年撰寫,但《數位海嘯》中所識別的推動互聯網演變的21個關鍵原則,已在過去幾年中隨著社會政治變化而得到證明。阿坦達認為,我們正處於一個由前所未有的機會、知識和賦權公民驅動的文化革命和社會演變的新時代的邊緣。他指出,互聯網正在改變我們彼此互動的方式,並塑造我們的社會、自我和整體環境,並預測這些變化的可能結果。該系列的第一卷定義了推動互聯網下一波演變的21個關鍵原則,並描述了由此現象所促成的新公民、新地球秩序(NEO Citizens)的出現,以及他們如何利用數位海嘯來進一步實現他們在數位時代的目標。
《數位海嘯》不僅僅是一本關於科技的書,更是探討科技如何改變我們存在的基本面。它代表了一種以公民為中心的數位革命新視角,與其他作家對此主題的企業主義觀點有顯著不同。正如作者所解釋的,這本書適用於多元且廣泛的讀者群體。“這是數位從業者、策略家、政策制定者、商業經理、市場營銷人員、社會活動家、技術專家、學者、學生以及希望理解互聯網驅動的當今世界變化的公民必讀的書籍,”阿坦達說,他是新興數位文化的知名思想領袖。他接著說:“互聯網影響的逐漸顯現意味著許多人尚未意識到其對社會、政治和經濟結構的影響。無論是向前還是向後,都取得了巨大的進展;這本書對每一個進展進行了權威的詳細檢視。”評論家讚揚作者發表了如此引人深思的分析,許多人敦促有興趣的讀者儘快購買他們的副本。
