Marc Andreessen

Marc Andreessen: "Brynjolfsson and McAfee are right: we are on the cusp of a dramatically different world brought on by technology.

The Second Machine Age is the book for anyone who wants to thrive in it. I’ll encourage all of our entrepreneurs to read it, and hope their competitors don’t."

Reid Hoffman: "The Second Machine Age offers important insights into how digital technologies are transforming our economy, a process that has only just begun.

Erik and Andrew’s thesis: As massive technological innovation radically reshapes our world, we need to develop new business models, new technologies, and new policies that amplify our human capabilities, so every person can stay economically viable in an age of increasing automation. I couldn’t agree more."

Raoul Pal said 'The Second Machine Age' influenced his macro thinking on Twitter.

Will Marshall: "Key learning from the book 'The Second Machine Age': Learn to be useful to/symbiotic with computers. Best output will come from a human-AI team."
