KEVIN KELLY was Executive Editor for Wired magazine in 1998 when he wrote this book. What he wrote then is coming to pass today with the advent of the RFID chip technology, the so-called "Internet of Things," and much more.
In Chapter 1, "This New Economy," he speaks of "an emerging new economic order," a "new highly technical planetary economy" that was on the horizon. "This new economy has three distinguishing characteristics," he writes. "It is global. It favors intangible things -- ideas, in ...more

“Network will drive the new economy” is what Kevin Kelly has tried to emphasize in this title. Whether it is a network of dumb things or a network of human beings.Organizations which will understand the intricacies of network and invest in it will survive in the world where everything is in a flux and nothing is constant .Ten profound rules which are going to revolutionize the way business will be done in the twenty first century are well cited in the book which I have documented in my blog.

Contains some good insights pertaining to the revolution that the world is currently undergoing.
I feel like I just stepped out of the indutrial age into the info age. Great read.
This a must read and game-changer
This book, copyright 1998, is the most marked-up and underlined book in my library. I probably re-read it twice a year, trying to push myself in favorable directions.
Written pre-Google (well, pre-Google-IPO, anyway) it is the best collection of strategic approaches to technology I've read.

Time and time again, I come back to this book and think...wow, Had I only started and listened to what he said in this book. Such a forward thinking and revelatory read.
KK is the Nostradamus of the internet. I own a physical copy.
Interesting read, but I think he got a few of them wrong.
This has potential to be studied as a typical "dot com" era opus on the great new world that was lying ahead of us. As all books of it's kind, it is rich in far fetching generalizations and thin on great ideas.
