In this presentation, Andrew Keen argues that Silicon Valley has changed the world more than any other place over the past 50 years. Working off of Joseph Schumpeter's notion of "creative destruction," he reveals the cultural foundations of Silicon Valley's obsession with innovation and its both creative and destructive impact on our economy. In particular, he examines the consequences of Silicon Valley's obsession with efficiency and the consequences of this on unemployment and our work lives. Neither a Luddite nor a techno-utopian, Keen offers a carefully calibrated and deeply historical take on where today's digital revolution might be taking us.
