Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We’re Thriving in a New World of Possibility by David Weinberger.
David holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Toronto. He is widely published including Wired, Scientific American, Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
He is Co-Director of Harvard Library’s Innovation Lab; Writer-in-residence at a Google AI lab; Senior researcher at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society; Fellow at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy; and a Franklin Fellow at the US State Department.
David previously authored The Cluetrain Manifesto, Everything is Miscellaneous, and Too Big to Know. Having read these books, David’s writing both inspirational and spot on regarding how internet technologies are shifting the global world. My only regret is not reading this book the day it hit newsstands. And based upon his previous works, will not make that mistake moving forward.
Everyday Chaos is focusing on artificial intelligence, big data, modern science, and a very dynamic internet. Rolling into a somewhat staggering force, these technologies are certainly revealing how complex the world is today. Perhaps the most important message, we now find ourselves facing a digital transformation more unpredictable even by those who created the technologies.
