For anyone interested in this shift in power, check out futurist Alvin Toffler's Powershift. His thesis is that the pinnacle of power throughout time as technology has evolved has shifted from brute strength, to money in the industrial age, and now finally to information in the post-industrial…
……在这样一个社会里。我推荐大家读《The Third Wave》。它为当今社会、媒体和控制大众的政治机器的种种阴谋提供了很好的历史背景。《Powershift》讨论的是权力向大众转移，如果你喜欢建制派消亡的想法，这本书也不错。我想到的其他人还有 Nicholas Carr、Douglas Rushkoff 和 Ray Kurzweil。
…in such a society. I recommend everyone read The Third Wave. It provides great historical context for the present machinations of society, the media, and the political machine controlling the masses. Powershift discuss the shift of power to the masses and is also good if you like the idea of the death of the establishment. Other people that come to mind are Nicholas Carr, Douglas Rushkoff, and Ray Kurzweil.
……自人类诞生以来技术演进的主要浪潮所决定的。《The Third Wave》勾勒了历史的浪潮，《Future Shock》讲的是适应快速变化的技术和文化时的摩擦，《Powershift》讲的是由于去中心化，权力从自上而下的系统转向生产者-消费者系统，而《Revolutionary Wealth》讲的是新商业模式和经济模式涌现的革命……
…dictated by the major waves of tech evolution since the dawn of man. The Third Wave outlines the waves of history, Future Shock is about the friction of assimilating to rapidly changing tech and culture, Powershift is about the shift in power from a top down system to a producer-consumer system due to decentralization and Revolutionary Wealth is about the revolution where new business and economic models emerge…
It's silly to think money is literally the only form of power and persuasion. As Alvin Toffler wrote in Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century, and as evidenced by GOOG and FB, information and attention are the new money. >Hillary Clinton outspent Donald Trump by 2x in the 2016…
…saved the file to my desktop, modified the file, and opened the file back up in my browser. Of course, I was (very luckily) ready for what I saw; I had been doing graphic design at the time and had read Powershift and Neuromancer :)
At least read Future Shock, IIRC it's a pretty fast read and very focused/concise compared to his followups. The later books (Third Wave and Powershift) were more about taking the fundamentals from Future Shock and extrapolating how they might affect the world.
任何对这种权力转移感兴趣的人，都可以看看未来学家阿尔文·托夫勒的《权力的转移》。他的核心观点是：纵观历史，随着技术的演进，权力的巅峰已经从野蛮的体力，转移到了工业时代的金钱，现在终于转移到了后工业时代的……

要是认为金钱是权力与说服力的唯一形式，那就太天真了。正如阿尔文·托夫勒在《权力的转移：走向21世纪的知识、财富和暴力》中所写，以及 GOOG 和 FB 所证明的那样，信息和注意力就是新的货币。>希拉里·克林顿在 2016 年的花费是唐纳德·特朗普的 2 倍……

……把文件保存到桌面，修改了文件，然后在浏览器里重新打开。当然，我（非常幸运地）对看到的东西早有准备；我当时在做平面设计，读过《Powershift》和《Neuromancer》：）

至少读读《Future Shock》，我记得它读起来很快，而且跟他的后续作品相比非常聚焦、简洁。后来的书（《Third Wave》和《Powershift》）更多是把《Future Shock》里的基本观点拿来做外推，看它们可能如何影响世界。
