Makes me think of Kevin Kelly (http://kk.org http://kk.org). His 1994 book Out of Control, read retrospectively, has held up better than any other prognostication I can think of concerning the nexus of business and technology. Neal Stephenson's 1999 Cryptonomicon is another staggering example. Asimov. Orwell. Machiavelli. Musashi. Tzu. There are the 'A' players of thought leadership, and there is everyone else.
- braneloop 9y agoA colleague and I just interviewed Kelly on his latest book "The Inevitable Understanding the 12 technological forces that will shape our future": https://dojo.nearsoft.com/episodes/technology-tools-kevin-kelly/ https://dojo.nearsoft.com/episodes/technology-tools-kevin-ke...
- Bakary 9y agoWhat aspects of Asimov do you think are the most prescient? (on a more pedantic note, his last name is Sun: Tzu is an honorific title)
