Summary:

Those who took advantage of the forces that changed the world during the Information Era got a big payoff as new businesses were launched and personal careers flourished. Chris Meyer and Stan Davis, authors of Blur, one of the most influential books of that period, now took at the next wave reshaping business and the economy in It's Alive!

In the book, Meyer and Davis describe how the really big blur will be the creation of products that melt the distinction between what's alive and what's not, between the artificial and the real. The forces of biology and information will create a business environment that is forced to evolve, like life itself. The upshot will be a competitive environment that changes nonstop. It's Alive! is an early look at the jolt we are about to experience and why today's executives and entrepreneurs have to adapt both their strategic mindset as well as the way they run their businesses.
