The Autonomous Revolution: A Third Social Revolution
By William Davidow, Michael S Malone
“For the third time in history, society is undergoing a social phase change. We are well on our way to creating the Autonomous Revolution. Its two predecessors, the Agricultural and the Industrial Revolutions, have taught us what to expect.”
The original idea behind ChangeThis came from Seth Godin, and was built in the summer of 2004 by Amit Gupta, Catherine Hickey, Noah Weiss, Phoebe Espiritu, and Michelle Sriwongtong. In the summer of 2005, ChangeThis was turned over to 800-CEO-READ. In addition to selling and writing about books, they kept ChangeThis up and running as a standalone website for 14 years. In 2019, 800-CEO-READ became Porchlight, and we pulled ChangeThis together with the rest of our editorial content under the website you see now. We remain committed to the high-design quality and independent spirit of the original team that brought ChangeThis into the world.
