Amateur hour has arrived, and the audience is running the show

In a hard-hitting and provocative polemic, Silicon Valley insider and pundit Andrew Keen exposes the grave consequences of today’s new participatory Web 2.0 and reveals how it threatens our values, economy, and ultimately the very innovation and creativity that forms the fabric of American achievement.

Our most valued cultural institutions, Keen warns—our professional newspapers, magazines, music, and movies—are being overtaken by an avalanche of amateur, user-generated free content. Advertising revenue is being siphoned off by free classified ads on sites like Craigslist; television networks are under attack from free user-generated programming on YouTube and the like; file-sharing and digital piracy have devastated the multibillion-dollar music business and threaten to undermine our movie industry. Worse, Keen claims, our “cut-and-paste” online culture—in which intellectual property is freely swapped, downloaded, remashed, and aggregated—threatens over 200 years of copyright protection and intellectual property rights, robbing artists, authors, journalists, musicians, editors, and producers of the fruits of their creative labors.

In today’s self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes dangerously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videographers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought, sold, packaged, and reinvented.

The very anonymity that the Web 2.0 offers calls into question the reliability of the information we receive and creates an environment in which sexual predators and identity thieves can roam free. While no Luddite—Keen pioneered several Internet startups himself—he urges us to consider the consequences of blindly supporting a culture that endorses plagiarism and piracy and that fundamentally weakens traditional media and creative institutions.

Offering concrete solutions on how we can reign in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web, THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR is a wake-up call to each and every one of us.</p>

看到王小峰在不许联想中说自己读到一本好书《网民的狂欢》,不知道到底是怎么样的一本书,所以趁着五一放假在万圣买了一本。恰巧五一期间又在看bbc的virtual revolution,两厢映照便有了一些看法。 其实我刚一拿到《网民的狂欢》就很不喜欢,因为其英文名字明明为the cult of t...

这本书没啥意思。作者是一个极端的精英主义者,虽然在结论中提出应当避免技术所带来的负面影响,还是有点警示作用,但是其立论的根据却是相当薄弱,用非常守旧的思想去看待新生的事物,盗版、欺诈、隐私这些问题不是web2.0造成的,没有互联网,这些问题依然存在,而作者却把这...

Fascinating views on why people working collectively online but quite a subject book with Author's propensity to give a lofty discourse on why web 2.0 has damaged our life.

some chapters are fun to read, some are wasting of ink

Although it is too critical and cynical, it actually raises good points.
