Resumen del Editor
The Internet, created during the Cold War, has now ushered in one of the greatest shifts in society since the Industrial Revolution. There are many positive ways in which the Internet has contributed to the world, but as a society we are less aware of the Internet's deeply negative effects on our psychology, economy, and culture.
In The Internet Is Not the Answer, Andrew Keen, a 20-year veteran of the tech industry, traces the technological and economic history of the Internet from its founding in the 1960s, through the rise of the big data companies, to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity, and investigates how the Internet is reconfiguring our world, often at great cost. In this sharp, witty narrative, informed by the work of other writers, academics, and reporters, as well as his own wide-ranging research and interviews, Keen shows us the tech world, warts and all, and investigates what we can do to make sure the choices we make about the reconfiguring of our society do not lead to unpleasant unforeseen aftershocks.

Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence. Over the past few decades there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon, socialize on Facebook, turn to Apple for entertainment, and rely on Google for information.

Historia
Since the 1990s China has been climbing up the ladder of quality, from doing knockoffs to designing its own high-end goods. Xiaomi - its name literally means "little rice" - is landing squarely in this shift in China's economy. But the remarkable rise of Xiaomi from startup to colossus is more than a business story because mobile phones are special. The common desiderata of the global population, mobile phones offer the kind of freedom and connectedness that autocratic countries are terrified of.

In Googled, esteemed media writer and critic Ken Auletta uses the story of Google's rise to explore the inner workings of the company and the future of the media at large. Although Google has often been secretive, this book is based on the most extensive cooperation ever granted a journalist, including access to closed-door meetings and interviews with founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, CEO Eric Schmidt, and some 150 present and former employees.

Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.

Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet. There, she saw firsthand how deeply intertwined Silicon Valley was with the federal government - and always had been - and how shallow the common understanding of the secrets of the Valley's success actually was.

Worth a listen
An interesting counterpoint to the prevailing rosy view of the internet's affect on society. There were definitely many points where I felt Keen was too one-sided or sentimental, and I wouldn't call myself a total devotee. On the other hand, there are lots of things here which need to be spoken about, and I feel like they're not spoken about enough. The central argument seems to be that the feelgood Californian "freedom" and "borderlessness" espoused by the technological elite blends all too easily into a radical laissez-faire economic system in which the winners take all, know all and control all, and everyone else get shafted. A kind of second Industrial Revolution, which needs to be politically curbed and steered in the same way the first one was. Who knows, there are probably lots more of these internet scare books out there, but this was the first one I've listened to so I found it reasonably compelling.

Well-written and well spoken
The author spells out obvious truths that are not so obvious until you're shown what to look for. I believe his ideals will be the historical narrative of the Internet when children learn about it in the future..... right now we think it is the greatest thing, but the history books will look back and think of ourselves as being very foolish for not seeing the destruction it has sewn.

Important polemic
What struck me about this book is that I now know that because I am writing this review, that I am essentially volunteering to help Audible/Amazon in their unquenchable hunt for data. It's a good book and well written but I'm sure some readers may wish that he was more dispassionate/less hysterical about certain topics. If Amazon allowed me to give stars for genre, I would say it was a 3 star polemic that could have been a 5 star expose. I don't doubt that the author is probably right about our feudal Renaissance but he has to convince a lot of people and his diatribes may prove counterproductive. For example, it would have been good to see him interview some dispassionate economists to persuade us of some of his more revolutionary claims. Still a fun and informative read that I would highly recommend.

Enjoyable, informative and slightly depressing
Opened my eyes to things I've never thought about. I'd like to listen again. Side note: Andrew Keen has a marvelous speaking voice; I wish he would have narrated!

Good questions, no real answers.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
My time wasn't completely wasted. Keen does bring up some valid concerns for the future, the digital economy's focusing of wealth and the increased productivity it allows making millions of jobs redundant. He doesn't really understand the later or explain the former. He wants to turn the clock back but spends almost all of the book explaining real and perceived problems with the internet rather then proposing a way forward. His answer at the end is not well described or considered. While I agree that the internet is not the 'answer' for the changes that the internet created, that isn't a very insightful discovery.
Would you ever listen to anything by Andrew Keen again?
Not on this topic. I feel I had a good grasp on his views after three hours. The remaining 6 and 1/2 did flesh out the details, but there were no surprises.
What does Tom Pile bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Amazing narration skills. His emotional undertones let the listener feel Keen's rage and frustration. Clear easy to understand vocalizations that help you focus on even dull and repetitive passages.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Nope. I enjoy documentaries but I understand Keen's view already. Added visualizations wont change anything.

Eye-opening
I will never look at the Internet the same way again. I used to look at it in an optimistic way, like it was a place of opportunity for anyone. Now I see it as an elitist and scary universe which threatens all of humanity.

Internet 4 Dummies
This book pulls the covers back on the Internet and how it affects society as a whole. not exactly what I expected but much better than I expected. it's better to have knowledge than to be blind. great book

Worth reading but a little dry
A different perspective on the internet that is worth reading although it can be a bit dry and repetitive sometimes.

Light on facts heavy on conjecture
author has an axe to grind, by the end you wonder if he has more than a handle left

it could have been an interesting read
I read that book to hear about a contrarian point of view, but the whole thing feels like a personal vendetta and it is so unbalanced that it misses the target. It is filled with personal attack on individuals and group of individuals, it is politically loaded, equates the internet to a few billionaires profiting from it, and also filled with broad generalization that doesn't even hold water (I would not even know where to start so the list is long).
My review of this book could be as long as the book itself, but I'll simply conclude that the Internet deserves better and smarter detractors than this one.
