'Implosion', as reviewed by Duncan Vicat-Brown

'Implosion' is that rare thing; an internet-focused think piece that maintains a healthy balance of wild-eyed wonder, breathless optimism and healthy cynicism. It does a great job of capturing the scale and complexity of the internet, then wrestles it into an easily relatable but never over-simplified human context, and remains constantly engaging from start to finish. Andy's points will never have you groaning, and the vast majority will leave you feeling informed, energized and inspired.

IMPLOSION review by David Kelly

Wow! Scary! Wow! In this book, Andy Law (one of the great creative business thinkers) gives us a unique insight into the way we (people) have evolved in the digital age and how every business NEEDS to react to that. No doubt, "Digital" has hit like a seismic wave, but there is a sliver lining to this mushroom cloud for any business bold enough to jump in. I feel I have been taken by the shoulders, shaken and slapped...wake up, I hear him say!

IMPLOSION: a review by DannyT

"This is a very insightful read from a rare breed of business veteran-come-digital crackerjack. Andy has clearly thought about the impact of human behaviour on business and technology far above the standard passing comprehension. This makes you question the resulting business behaviour required to remain relevant in today's (and tomorrow's) digital world we're all in. Must read for anyone who is subject to the impact of digital evolution - i.e. you"

A review by Blackett Ditchburn

What a fine book. I'm left enthused, intrigued and stimulated. Andy Law touches upon a profound issue into which we have sleepwalked. That all knowledge is but a tap away is most definitely changing how we think. Previous innovations have eased our lives physically - but I think man's perpetual innovative quest is now easing the task of learning/ using our minds. If it's at our fingertips why must we learn by rote? And yet without that knowledge already embedded in our heads, how do we know where to look/ how to get the best use from the knowledge in front of us? Then when do we become dissatisfied with the tinselly attraction of achieving superficial knowledgeability whenever we want it, and turn it to some better use? I'm not sure there are answers to these questions since they demand knowledge of the future. But doing our best to answer them may make us more comfortable with whatever the future brings. A book best read thoughtfully and slowly - there are profound ideas that deserve contemplation in many short sentences.

The Unique Power Of Cinema

Movies in the cinema are absorbed fully without any distraction (OK, save the occasional rustle of sweet wrappers) and without any alternative opportunities to view.
