We are changing the world
Must read list of books that are simply impossible to ignore for anyone who wants to build a solid foundation as to the scope of what the Internet prime directive is about, how the network economy is shaping up, who will be the players and to amass a wide scope of insights as to the true role of design in the near future.
These have clarified and confirmed my early thesis about the future web. They continue to shape my original vision as to why Netdiver exists.. and where it’s going.
It’s really about changing the world.
