Change, Adapt, Or Die

In 1975 a young engineer at Kodak built the world's first digital camera. He showed it to his managers. They told him not to tell anyone.Thirty seven years later Kodak filed for bankruptcy, in the same week that thirteen people sold Instagram for one billion dollars.That is not a story about photography. It is a story about you.Every giant in this book was run by intelligent, hardworking people who could see exactly what was coming, and who chose the comfortable option anyway.Blockbuster could have bought Netflix outright for fifty million dollars in 2000. Its executives struggled not to laugh. Ten years later Blockbuster was bankrupt.Nokia sold four of every ten phones on earth. Six years after the iPhone, its handset business was gone.Sears invented everything Amazon would later use to destroy it: vast selection, ordering from home, delivery to the door, trusted house brands, a money back guarantee. Then it closed its catalogue in 1993, a year before a man in a garage began selling books online.None of them were foolish. All of them were comfortable. And the same forces are working, right now, on your profession, your business, and your children's future.Change, Adapt, or Die traces six decades of upheaval, from the industrial titans of the 1960s through the personal computer, the internet, the smartphone and artificial intelligence, to the quantum machines now being built. It answers the question that decides everything: why do some people and companies thrive through change while others, holding far better cards, lose it all?INSIDE THIS BOOK YOU WILL DISCOVER
