This "brilliant and provocative" (Walter Isaacson) guide shares nine principles to adapt and survive the technological changes shaping our future from the director of the MIT Media Lab and a veteran Wired journalist.
The world is more complex and volatile today than at any other time in our history. The tools of our modern existence are getting faster, cheaper, and smaller at an exponential rate, transforming every aspect of society, from business to culture and from the public sphere to our most private moments. The people who succeed will be the ones who learn to think differently.
In Whiplash, Joi Ito and Jeff Howe distill that logic into nine organizing principles for navigating and surviving this tumultuous period:
- Emergence over Authority
- Pull over Push
- Compasses over Maps
- Risk over Safety
- Disobedience over Compliance
- Practice over Theory
- Diversity over Ability
- Resilience over Strength
- Systems over Objects

About the Author
Jeff Howe is the program coordinator for Media Innovation at Northeastern, and an assistant professor at Northeastern University. A longtime contributing editor at Wired magazine, he coined the term crowdsourcing in a 2006 article for that magazine. In 2008 he published a book with Random House that looked more deeply at the phenomenon of massive online collaboration. Called Crowdsourcing: How the Power of the Crowd is Driving the Future of Business, it has been translated into ten languages. He was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University during the 2009-2010 academic year, and is currently a visiting scholar at the MIT Media Lab. He has written for the Washington Post, Newyorker.com, The New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and many other publications. He currently lives in Cambridge with his wife and two children.

Ito und Howe zeichnen in nachvollziehbarer Form und ein Bild der Zukunft in welcher die technische Entwicklung uns alle überholt haben wird und wir keine Hoffnung haben dürfen je wieder mit vernünftigen Aufwand und unseren alten Methoden aufschließen zu können. Durch die Arbeit am MIT haben beide Authoren heute schon einen Blick auf das Ende der Kurve an deren Anfang der Rest der Welt gerade erst ankommt.
Ihre Erkenntnisse erläutern sie in 9 Prinzipien theoretisch und an praktischen Beispielen:
Emergence Over Authority
Pull Over Push
Compasses Over MAps
Risk Over Safety
Disobedience Over Compliance
Practice Over Theory
Diversity Over Ability
Resilience Over Strength
Systems Over Objects
Ganz plump gesagt nichts, was man nicht nach ein paar Stunden youtube-Selbsthilfevideos in der ein oder anderen Form auch gehört haben wird. Warum sollte man also Geld ausgeben und dieses Buch lesen?
Weil hier der Versuch unternommen wird nicht nur ein Prinzip aufzustellen sondern auch Ansätze für den Umgang damit zu vermitteln statt eine (so die Prämisse des Buches) bekannte aber am Ende nutzlose da schnell veraltete Standardantwort zu geben.
Ich glaube dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine Bereicherung für Akademiker sondern für alle, die sich nicht mit Standardtests und dem Ankreuzen der richtigen Antwort zufrieden geben wollen, sondern lieber die Augen nach neuen Fragen offenhalten. Außerdem ist es gut zu lesen ;)
4 Sterne gibt es weil es eben "nur" eine gute Zusammenfassung bekannter Themen ist, da fehlt mir dann doch für den Anspruch dieses Werkes ein wenig der "Heureka-Moment" beim Lesen.
The 9 principles are:
Emergence Over Authority
Pull Over Push
Compasses Over MAps
Risk Over Safety
Disobedience Over Compliance
Practice Over Theory
Diversity Over Ability
Resilience Over Strength
Systems Over Objects
I have had some personal interactions with scholars at the Media Lab, so I have had the privilege of seeing these principles in operation on the research bench and in prototypes. Several years ago, I was invited to be an outside set of eyes and ears and voice at the weekly luncheons that were held by the City Science initiative within the Media Lab. The level of creativity and cross-disciplinary innovation (Joi Ito prefers the terms "antidisciplinary") is without equal.
Ito and Howe make the point that much of future innovation will take place in the interstitial spaces - in the white space - between recognized academic disciplines. This book offers a robust examination of how we will get to an era when the walls that keep disciples isolated from each other have dissolved. The anticipated changes have tremendous implications for developments in the fields of education, technology, medicine and artificial intelligence.
The book is appropriate for academics as well as for lay readers who are intrigued with how we will get to the uncertain future that is dawning faster than we can assimilate the changes.
