Peter Thiel / [美] 彼得·蒂尔 … translator: 高玉芳 publishing house: 中信出版社 / 中信出版股份有限公司 2015 - 1 other title: 从0到1:开启商业与未来的秘密
Silicon Valley legend Peter Thiel’s vision for building the companies of the future. In Spring 2012, students at Stanford University packed a lecture hall to hear Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel teach a course called “Computer Science 183: Startup.” Thiel told the class everything he knows about starting a company, going beyond the basics of running a business to answer the much harder question of how to find value where other people do not see it. Now Thiel and former student Blake Masters, whose notes on the class became an internet sensation, have revised, updated, and expanded on the best parts of the lectures. The result is this unique book: simultaneously an insider’s view of Silicon Valley, a practical guide for thinking about business, and a contrarian vision of the future. Thiel starts from the bold premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by our new mobile devices to notice. Progress has stalled in every industry except computers, and globalization is hardly the revolution people think it is. It’s true that the world can get marginally richer by building new copies of old inventions, making horizontal progress from “1 to ” But true innovators have nothing to copy. The most valuable companies of the future will make vertical progress from “0 to 1,” creating entirely new industries and products that have never existed before. is about how to build these companies. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. In today’s post-internet bubble world, conventional wisdom dictates that all the good ideas are taken, and the economy becomes a tournament in which everyone competes to reach the top. shows how to quit the zero-sum tournament by finding an untapped market, creating a new product, and quickly scaling up a monopoly business that captures lasting value. Planning an escape from competition is essential for every business and every individual, not just for technology startups. The greatest secret of the modern era is that there are still unique frontiers to explore and new problems to solve. shows how to pursue them using the most important, most difficult, and most underrated skill in every job or industry: thinking for yourself. --

《失控》,全名为《失控:机器、社会与经济的新生物学》(Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World)。 2006年,《长尾》作者克里斯·安德森在亚马逊网站上这样评价该书: “这可能是90年代最重要的一本书”,并且是“少有的一年比一年卖得好的书”。“尽管书中的一些例子在十几年后可能有些过时,但(它们所表达的)信息却越来越成为真知灼见”。“在那时人们还无法想象博客和维基等大众智慧的突起,但凯利却分毫不差地预见到了。这可能是过去十年来最聪明的一本书。” 这是一部思考人类社会(或更一般意义上的复杂系统)进化的“大部头”著作,对于那些不惧于“头脑体操”的读者来说,必然会开卷有益。 《失控》成书于1994年,作者是《连线》杂志的创始主编凯文·凯利。这本书所记述的,是他对当时科技、社会和经济最前沿的一次漫游,以及借此所窥得的未来图景。 书中提到并且今天正在兴起或大热的概念包括:大众智慧、云计算、物联网、虚拟现实、敏捷开发、协作、双赢、共生、共同进化、网络社区、网络经济,等等。说它是一本“预言式”的书并不为过。其中必定还隐藏着我们尚未印证或窥破的对未来的“预言”。

近一百多年来,总有一些公司很幸运地、有意识或无意识地站在技术革命的浪尖之上。在这十几年间,它们代表着科技的浪潮,直到下一波浪潮的来临。 从一百年前算起,AT&T 公司、IBM 公司、苹果公司、英特尔公司、微软公司、思科公司、雅虎公司和Google公司都先后被幸运地推到了浪尖。虽然,它们来自不同的领域,中间有些已经衰落或正在衰落,但是它们都极度辉煌过。本书系统地介绍了这些公司成功的本质原因及科技工业一百多年的发展。 在极度商业化的今天,科技的进步和商机是分不开的。因此,本书也系统地介绍了影响到科技浪潮的风险投资公司,诸如 KPCB 和红杉资本,以及百年来为科技捧场的投资银行,例如高盛公司,等等。 在这些公司兴衰的背后,有着它必然的规律。本书不仅讲述科技工业的历史,更重在揭示它的规律性。
