Summary
You can say goodbye to today's Internet, New York Times best-selling 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.

Briliant
One of the best books I recently listened. Until I read this book I didin't realize how big is the revolution we are going through now. That's pretty exciting.

Hard to understand without knowledge
This is a very good book about why Big data will be replaced in some cases with the Blockchian, however if you don't have a great deal of computer science and Blockchian background then I would recommend something else for a start.
I learnt a lot about Tech and company histories from the author, but found the presentation of these a bit overwhelming and therefore it needed a lot of concentration.
If you want to learn deep fundamentals about centralised and decentralised systems and you love math than go for this book!

Great, daring work.
Life After Google is an essay about the future of software technologies, the Internet, financial tech and AI, with the right focus: the battle between centralized and decentralized services.

Starts off so well but implodes
George Gilder is a passionate contrarian and a polymath well versed in mathematics, philosophy, banking, investing and tech. He makes a great case against overblown hype for AI, a compelling one that the walled gardens approach of the tech giants is approaching limits, but has drunk deep of the Kool Aid about bitcoin and block chain, and ends with a confused soup of the gold standard, Goedel undecidability, the nature of trust and value with begs questions, contradicts itself and glosses over holes in his own arguments. A pity, but the book is well worth reading for his insights on tech and provocative (if not always plausible) polemic on the history of technology and commerce.

Technical
This book is very jargon heavy, it makes sense as to why. However the concepts and topics presented are fascinating. The future is definitely being shaped in this present moment
