📖 📚 🔥 Just finished Kara Swisher's "Burn: A Tech Love Story" and I can't recommend it enough. Swisher's blend of deep tech industry insights, candid storytelling, and a balanced perspective makes this book an essential reading. It's a narrative that deftly captures the duality of technology — its remarkable benefits and the equally significant potential for harm. The book prompts a reflection on the tech industry's hubris and the consequences of unchecked power, reminding us of the importance of holding tech leaders accountable for their impact on society. #TechEthics #SiliconValley #Innovation #Burnbook #KaraSwisher

"Each year, we begin in January with our kickoff meeting, which is hands-down our most intense gathering. We do goal-setting exercises, brainstorm our words or themes for the year, and share our one-, five-, ten-year plans, no matter how extravagant or impossible they may seem. We set a timer and spend ten minutes writing down our hopes and dreams, ideas and to-dos, wishes and wants, and then we take turns reading them out loud. We manifest, baby." https://lnkd.in/dgMPpM-G

Interesting article about the thesis of 'Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture' by Kyle Chayka, which effectively distils an issue about which I constantly wrestle with my teenage daughter, despite her being as bright as a button: '... how the forces of the algorithm are increasingly dictating our cultural and creative thinking, shaping our ideas and conditioning our critical facilities, often to our collective detriment. We’ve become the perfect consumers: passive, generic, empty.' And that's quite apart from how this relates to my work in marketing... #socialmedia  #digitalmedia  #artificialintelligence #digitalechochamber #digitalmarketing

The Network State A must read book if you are building tech in Web3 and AI https://lnkd.in/gWDhtfbj My Thoughts: As someone both optimistic and practical about Web3, I often find myself grounding CEOs, visionaries, and investors in what today’s technology can truly accomplish. This balance is a key part of my role as a CTO in this space. A book that consistently comes up in my discussions as of late since I started reading it and delves into the intricate dynamics of power, technology, and statecraft—topics that resonate deeply with me. From my perspective, it highlights how technological innovation and moral progress frequently clash, with decentralized networks like Web3 challenging traditional establishments. The conflict between the tech-driven Network and the entrenched State is at the heart of modern societal evolution. We're witnessing this power shift firsthand, as economies evolve through innovation and collective action, with Web3 leading the charge. This book has helped crystallize for me how these forces are reshaping the world, and why it’s essential to remain grounded in what’s possible as we navigate this transformative era.

If visualization helps to create our future reality, then what are we visualizing today about our tomorrow as a society? This was an interesting question that Kathryn Murdoch asked about movies, books, and the future when she found out that the majority are dystopian. Think #HungerGames, #Terminator, #WalkingDead, etc. This got me to pause and reflect, especially when it comes to our children. Take a moment to reflect on what a positive future would look like to you. #future, #kathrynmurdoch, #visualization, #moviesandbooks
