About this listen
In this remarkably prescient audiobook, Gilder predicts how television will merge with other technologies and evolve into the telecomputer, a personal computer adapted for video processing and connected by fiber-optic threads to other personal computers around the world. This interactive system will change how we do business, educate our children, and spend our leisure time. It will imperil all large, centralized organizations, including broadcasting and cable networks, phone companies, government bureaucracies, and multinational corporations. But the United Statesh has only to unleash its industrial resources to command the "telefuture", in which new technology will overthrow the stultifying influence of mass media, renew the power of individuals, and promote democracy throughout the world.

Great technology summary
Lessons about head in the sand, government missing big picture, and disruptive technologies coming along. The concept of 10bn transistors on a single chip is mind boggling for the number of new applications and products that will become feasible.

A Window of Knowledge
I'm not keen on giving fives stars in all categories, but the narration, information architecture, and insight of this book is something every business owner should understand. I'm going to listen to it again.

George Gilder is an economic profit
His detailed information about the future of technology was so right on, written over 20 years ago.
