'Thought-provoking book. This slim volume does some envisioning, giving you a more cheerful view of how to cope with the world of work and the flood of information than the usual headlines. It's also a good high-level survey of the research and writing on these areas, and it's written in a friendly and accessible style that doesn't assume you use any particular brand of technology, studded with personal anecdotes and discursions into what serendipity really means (it's more Sherlock Holmes that winning the lottery).'
- Mary Branscombe, ZDNet 'If you're working in or managing a workplace today you need to read The Rise of the Humans.'
- Guy Clapperton, co-author of The Smarter Working Manifesto |
'Dave Coplin outlines how we can turn the threat of the "digital deluge" into a key organisational asset, creating a new generation of responsive organisations that are ready for the 21st century business world.'
- Adam Pisoni, Co-founder and CTO at Yammer / CVP, Yammer Engineering, Microsoft 'Coplin's 130-odd pages will leave you fantastically well read.' - Simon Rockman, The Register
'I recommend that you switch off all electronic devices, devour this in one sitting, then lean back and ponder deeply.'
- Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, author of Tired But Wired |
The Rise of the Humans, review: Don't sleepwalk into the future
|
Is there a simple answer to the future of technology and the world of work? Probably not, but this thought-provoking book might help you relax and stop worrying about it so much.

"Business Reimagined is a book about business and technology that's worth reading. It's an engaging, compact tome that could inspire business leaders to change the way they do things. Ignore its advice at your peril." - PC Pro
"A refreshing approach to the future of collaboration and how technology should liberate rather than constrain. Coplin's ideas for reforms to the workplace are incredibly appealing, offering to bring the way in which we work in line with the technological advances of the 21st century."
- Sam Spencer, IDG Connect |
"For me, this was something of a revelation. I would describe this author as an accidental guru, and as a business book, it has heaps to offer."
- Business Money magazine "Contains plenty of practical assistance alongside the hopes for a better future" - Roger Trapp, Forbes
"A diatribe, polemic, samizdat: a hand-grenade lobbed in the general direction of Work 1.0"
- Martin Veitch, IDG Connect |
