The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur’s Vision of the Future Audiobook (Free)

The #1 NY Times and Wall structure Street Journal bestseller from Steve Case-the co-founder of AOL-presents “a compelling roadmap for the future…that can help us seem sensible of the technological changes reshaping our economy as well as the world. A remarkable go through” (Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.org).

Steve Case-a pioneer who made the Internet portion of everyday life-was for the leading edge of a revolution in 1985 when he co-founded AOL, the first Internet company to look public as well as the about The Third Influx: An Entrepreneur’s Vision into the future most successful business of the 1990s. In the past Case was an entrepreneur in an market that hadn’t actually been invented however, but he had a feeling how dramatically the web would transform business and culture. In The Third Influx, he uses his insights garnered from nearly four decades of working as an innovator, trader, and businessman to claim the importance of entrepreneurship and to chart a route for future innovators.

We are getting into, as Case explains, the “Third Wave” of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers for connecting to the web. The second influx saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social media capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone trend. Right now, Case argues, we’re entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform main “real life” sectors such as health, education, transport, energy, and food-and in the process change just how we live our day to day lives.

Part memoir, part manifesto, and part playbook for future years, The Third Wave explains the ways in which newly emerging technology businesses must rethink their human relationships with customers, with rivals, and with governments; and offers guidance for how entrepreneurs can make winning business decisions and strategies-and how most of us can make sense of this ever-changing digital age group.
