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 rein 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.

读后感

书中提到的web2.0的缺陷与问题,有哪些是社会固有,被网络技术激发起来的;哪些是网络创造出来的;哪些即使没有网络,也是那样子的? 在我看来,书中提到的大多数问题,都是经过网络新技术放大而已,本来它们就是存在在那里。 有些问题,根本就是任何新事物都会少年期都会遇见...

焦建/文 这么多年来,我一直自嘲没上过学,只是混了个文凭,这话是实话。当年上学的时候,上课只是跟同学们联络感情的手段,没人管也不服从管教的结果是,更多的时候,我是泡在图书馆里长大的。囫囵吞枣的结果是,说法听了一堆,段子能讲一把,但学问不见长进。但说归说,好处...

这是一本被忽视的好书。 几乎每一个看过这本书的人都说这是一本好书。 甚至有朋友还专门打电话给我,想说点关于这本书的东西。 这在以往来讲是很少见的。 虽然我们也推出过很多畅销书,出版过很多好书, 但朋友要亲自打电话告诉我,说这本书好。这还是第一次。 让我很感动。 但...

(将本书序言摘于此,供大家了解本书内容) 要不是因为涉猎网络较深,我多半会以为现在就像1999年一样,硅谷正再度繁荣,网络幻想家正“东山再起”。 最近在旧金山,我遇到一位对网络极为虔诚的痴迷者。在一次霞多丽 酒会上,我们举杯畅聊,并交换了对新兴事物的看法...

刚刚读完。 这本书的英文名是The Cult of the Amature,直译的话应是“业余者的狂欢”,而且从书的内容来说,这个翻译更贴切、务实些。 全书中最有价值的部分,探讨的是业余者在Web2.0时代肆无忌惮的将专家的声音盖过,网络用户被铺天盖地的垃圾信息所环绕,对事物失去认知,...
