Inventing the Cloud Century: How Cloudiness Keeps Changing Our Life, Economy and Technology
暫譯: 發明雲端世紀：雲端如何持續改變我們的生活、經濟與科技

本書結合了技術、社會和經濟三個維度，探討當今雲生態系統的興起，作為基於網絡的舊服務生態系統的繼承者。此外，本書描述了服務向雲端轉移的過程，這是一個仍在快速發展的長期趨勢。書中採取了全面的視角來分析技術的關鍵成功因素，包括引人注目的商業模式和生態系統，涵蓋私營、公營和國家組織。作者探討了服務生態系統的演變，描述了它們的相似性和差異，並分析了它們如何創造和改變行業。最後，基於雲計算及相關技術（如虛擬化、物聯網、雲邊計算、大數據與分析、認知計算和區塊鏈）的當前狀況，作者提供了對未來技術、互聯網的未來以及對商業和社會潛在影響的深刻展望。
