Andrew Keen

"Cult of Amateurs" will certainly encourage you to question what you take for granted and change the way you surf the internet and use Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and other services.

According to the famous infinite monkey theorem, if we let an infinite number of monkeys type on an infinite number of typewriters, somewhere, one of those monkeys would eventually create a Shakespeare play, a Plato dialogue, or some other masterpiece. With the invention of the Internet, it was thought that all this creative potential that was just waiting to burst out of ordinary users would flourish. Instead, we got superficiality, pornography, identity theft, and a new corporate paradise. In his devastating critique of the so-called Web 2.0 revolution, Andrew Keen, not without reason called the antichrist of Silicon Valley, set out to destroy this myth once and for all by showing not only that the Internet is ruled by mediocrity, but also that digital giants like Wikipedia and Google are not necessarily good players. Discover why we are about to enter Brave New World 2.0. Even if you don't agree with everything.
