520 1 $a"This is a book about technology, and about rules. It is about what happens when technology moves faster than governments, creating markets that - for some time at least - have no rules. It is a book about the pioneers who thrive in a world of chaos and the governments that eventually rein them in.".
520 8 $a"Beginning with the development of the compass in the early Middle Ages, Debora Spar takes the reader back in time, looking at a series of technological revolutions that promised, in their time, to transform the worlds of politics and business. She tells tales of the printing press and maps; of telegraph, radio, and satellite television; of software, encryption, and the advent of digital music. At each of these junctures, she suggests, technological innovation leads to both a wave of commerce and of chaos.
520 8 $aEntrepreneurs such as Samuel Morse and Rupert Murdoch carve new markets from the emerging technology and proclaim that the old rules no longer apply."--BOOK JACKET.
