Conclusion

"Life After Google" delves into the evolving landscape of technology, highlighting the rise of cryptocurrencies and blockchain to counter the dominance of tech giants like Google. A key insight from the book is that the current AI and data center model may be unsustainable, paving the way for a more secure, human-centric internet. This book can help readers understand the future of digital security and prepare for the significant shifts in technology and economics.

The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But its coming to an end. In LIFE AFTER GOOGLE, George Gilder -- the peerless visionary of technology and culture -- explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns. Googles astonishing ability to search and sort attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies -- videos, maps, email, calendars -- and everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of aggregate and advertise works -- for a while -- if you control an empire of data centres, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of ads. The crisis is not just economic. Even as advances in artificial intelligence induce delusions of omnipotence and transcendence, Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable. The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the cryptocosm -- the new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, NEO and Hashgraph, will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google. Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a great unbundling, which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet. Life after Google is almost here.
