Produktbeschreibung

Magisterial...Draws an elegant and illuminating parallel between the late-19th-century electrification of America and today's computing world. Salon

Hailed as the most influential book so far on the cloud computing movement (Christian Science Monitor), The Big Switch makes a simple and profound statement: Computing is turning into a utility, and the effects of this transition will ultimately change society as completely as the advent of cheap electricity did. In a new chapter for this edition that brings the story up-to-date, Nicholas Carr revisits the dramatic new world being conjured from the circuits of the World Wide Computer.
