The book contains 11 articles on different technological domains - artificial intelligence; algorithms; augmented reality; drones; blockchain; and 3D printing. Authors wrote about how these technologies are employed as solutions or enhancements to different industries and companies, including the various approach to understand and deploy them by providing strategies; adoption framework; business model; business process guidelines and related implemented examples.
Read a couple of essays from this series. Drones go to work by Chris Anderson is pretty cool. Truth About Blockchain is another good one. The author has strong arguments and a positive outlook on the adoption of blockchain, giving reference to and comparing it with the evolutionary phases of TCP/IP - single use, localized use, substituion, eventually leading to transformation. I'm super excited to experience its wider localization in the near future. I know NYSE and Fidelity and some other compa...
This book was very informative and not too over the top technically. It is broken down more into ten longer magazine articles on unique topics. You could read one article and put it down and not have to worry about reconnecting with the thread of the previous chapter.
Here's the mind expanding read I was looking for. The essays are simply amazing, I keep recommending this to all my friends when we are talking about the future of business.Go ahead and treat yourself to the future.
There is always hype when a new technology emerges. This book helps us discern what is doable from what is impractical.
An informative read without being over-technical. It touch bases on various emerging technologies and their present as well as potential impact. A key point all these articles stress upon is -why humans should not be threatened by the adoption of these technologies or assume that their jobs will become extinct.
This is an eclectic selection of articles from Harvard Business Review on all sorts of issues loosely related to "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). Even taking into the account that what is most often presented as AI is really various aspects of Machine Learning (ML), this book goes well beyond that in terms of topics are covered. It would be more fair to say that this is a book on various forms of technological disruption that may or may not materialize in the near future (Blockchain and "Hub Econ...
A short, diverse selection of articles on emerging technologies. For abstract technologies, the descriptions of developing business models can be very good, It describes the foreseeable impact they will have. It is also very interesting to consider the shifting implications for business strategy. The articles are a little uneven, one made bazaar use of acronyms and they all had very different scopes. I thought AI would be a theme for most of the book but it wasn't. The diversity helped make the
Okay, just okay - especially now in 2020. Some articles better than others, largely driven by personal interest. I liked the one towards the end on AI because it cited interesting scientific studies that make one think.Funny to hear the venerable Michael Porter in 2017 conjecture wildly about "revolutionary AR/VR." It's like a front row seat to the early phases of Gartner's Hype Cycle.

Intriguing readThis was a great overview of a lot of different aspects regarding technology, obviously AI. I enjoyed learning more about the field and the creative applications that may come out in the future. Good for any business.
Concise articles on broad subjects around the new machine age. I enjoyed the fact that the book covered multiple technologies and not just big data or AI. The business value potential of 3D printing, augmented reality, drones and blockchain are analyzed in distinct chapters. If you are looking for a quick introduction to the business side of these exciting technologies this book is certainly a great read.
HBR's 10 must reads series is one of the best collection of books I've come across. HBR themselves compile a collection of 10 really impactful essays on certain topics, pertaining to management, business strategy, technology and the works. This book was centered more along the coalition of business and technology's integration in the 21st century. Not only are the essays relevant to the modern timeline, they're also extremely visionary in their approach. With topics ranging from Digital Personal...
Collection of mildly interesting articles, perhaps of more interest to someone who is less up to date with this particular industry. Two articles stood out to me, "The 3-D Printing Playbook" and "Managing Our Hub Economy". 3-D printing is not something I know much about but I now have a better idea of the current state of it's use in manufacturing and can see how it will enable lean manufacturing. The Hub Economy is interesting for it's network effects as well as how these models can fail.
Enjoyable read, for someone newly involved in data, analytics and data driven technology this was an excellent and diverse introduction and also quite useful as we like other organizations seek to build our digital capability and reimagine how we work.
Didn't read the whole book but picked articles of interest. Very business-focused (which makes sense given the format). Interesting insights into different models. The fact that some of the articles were sponsored by Google amongst others made me a bit skeptical of the accuracy/objectivity of the facts/opinions presented.
Every single article demands that you read them. Curated from established technological knowledge writers. You would be hard pressed not to want to understand some of the most important burgeoning technological techniques that could be foundational for the future.
It is amazing how fast these books become partially too old (out of date). Good generic reading, but if you already are familiar with the topic, it is likely that this book does not give you any new ideas.
Overall, a good coverage of the most important issues in digital future. Some topics like blockchain, drones or 3D printing don't come across as strongly connected to the overall theme of the book, but other ones on AI are good ones.
Good high level introduction to the topics with sporadic more elaborated ideas every now and then. If you are truly interested in the topics, perhaps you should read more in depth analysis. The devil is always in the details.
