Amateur hour has arrived, and the audience is running the show

In a hard-hitting and provocative polemic, Silicon Valley insider and pundit Andrew Keen exposes the grave consequences of today’s new participatory Web 2.0 and reveals how it threatens our values, economy, and ultimately the very innovation and creativity that forms the fabric of American achievement.

Our most valued cultural institutions, Keen warns—our professional newspapers, magazines, music, and movies—are being overtaken by an avalanche of amateur, user-generated free content. Advertising revenue is being siphoned off by free classified ads on sites like Craigslist; television networks are under attack from free user-generated programming on YouTube and the like; file-sharing and digital piracy have devastated the multibillion-dollar music business and threaten to undermine our movie industry. Worse, Keen claims, our “cut-and-paste” online culture—in which intellectual property is freely swapped, downloaded, remashed, and aggregated—threatens over 200 years of copyright protection and intellectual property rights, robbing artists, authors, journalists, musicians, editors, and producers of the fruits of their creative labors.

In today’s self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes dangerously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videographers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought, sold, packaged, and reinvented.

The very anonymity that the Web 2.0 offers calls into question the reliability of the information we receive and creates an environment in which sexual predators and identity thieves can roam free. While no Luddite—Keen pioneered several Internet startups himself—he urges us to consider the consequences of blindly supporting a culture that endorses plagiarism and piracy and that fundamentally weakens traditional media and creative institutions.

Offering concrete solutions on how we can rein in the free-wheeling, narcissistic atmosphere that pervades the Web, THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR is a wake-up call to each and every one of us.

我们经常听到官方说,国情不同。这四个字仿佛一把万能钥匙,当固有的理论豪宅走到山穷水尽之时,大管家出来手持这把钥匙一转,就领你进到一个新房间——不管灯光有多昏暗,先进去再说。笃信普世价值的人群往往对这四个字嗤之以鼻,将其归结为监守自盗的说辞,但至少对于基恩的...

前不久,茅盾文学奖得主麦家一语惊人:“如果给我权力,我就想消灭网络。”原因是,“我也跟很多网络作家交朋友,我认为其中99.9%是垃圾,只有0.1%是精华。”很多人认为,麦家“消灭网络”的言论是对“网络民主”的一大亵渎。可是,当我第一次在微博上看到这则新闻时,恕我直言...

这是一本被忽视的好书。 几乎每一个看过这本书的人都说这是一本好书。 甚至有朋友还专门打电话给我,想说点关于这本书的东西。 这在以往来讲是很少见的。 虽然我们也推出过很多畅销书,出版过很多好书, 但朋友要亲自打电话告诉我,说这本书好。这还是第一次。 让我很感动。 但...
