THE MOBILE EMPIRE

In the tradition of two classic international bestsellers—Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock and John Naisbitt’s Megatrends — THE MOBILE EMPIRE explains the effect of smart devices on the clash of nations.

Here Michael Saylor argues that smart devices are remaking the global power map, creating a new Mobile Empire, with the United States at the hub. There are now 1.4 billion smart devices on Earth, and soon there will be 24 billion. Everyone will be online, all the time. The US owns the world communications system. Virtually every global software firm is American. As the Googles and Facebooks reshape and enrich the planet, they will funnel enormous wealth back to the US. Full of thought-provoking and controversial arguments, THE MOBILE EMPIRE is required reading for policymakers, businesspeople, and technology enthusiasts.

Michael Saylor is the Chairman and CEO of MicroStrategy and the author of the bestselling The Mobile Wave.
