About
"Steve Case cofounded America Online (AOL) in 1985, when only three percent of Americans were online. It took a decade for AOL to achieve mainstream success, and there were many near-death experiences and back-to-the-wall pivots. At its peak more than half of all consumer Internet traffic in the United States ran through AOL. After AOL's merger with Time Warner, Case oversaw the biggest media and communications empire in the world. Case takes us behind the scenes of some of the most consequential and riveting business decisions of our time while offering illuminating insights from decades of working as an entrepreneur. Case says we are entering what he calls the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leverage the smartphone revolution. During this Third Wave entrepreneurs will vastly transform major sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, and food - and change the way we live our daily lives. Success will require a different skill set, and Case outlines the path forward. The Third Wave is part memoir, part manifesto, and part playbook for the future. Case explains the ways in which newly emerging technology companies will have to rethink their relationships with customers, with competitors, and with governments; and offers advice for how entrepreneurs can make winning business decisions and strategies - and how all of us can make sense of this changing digital age."--Provided by publisher.
