In the midst of one of the greatest status revolutions in the history of the world, the Internet has become a weapon in the hands of revolutionaries. Old priesthoods are crumbling. In the new order, the amateur is king: fourteen-year-olds manipulate the stock market and nineteen-year-olds take down the music industry. Unseen forces undermine all forms of collectivism, from the family to the mass market: one black box has the power to end television as we know it, and another one may dictate significant changes in our practice of democracy.

Michael Lewis' ability to take fairly complex things and explain them really well is amazing. And he explores some heavy stuff here: colonizing the future, generational conflict, and why the SEC never asked a kid exactly what he did to earn $800K.
