Author, "The Internet is Not the Answer"
Andrew Keen is an Internet entrepreneur who founded Audiocafe.com in 1995 and built it into a popular first-generation Internet company. He is currently the executive director of the Silicon Valley salon FutureCast, a Senior Fellow at CALinnovates, the host of the “Keen On” Techonomy chat show, and a columnist for CNN.
He is the author of three books, his latest being The Internet is Not the Answer, which explores the Internet's negative effects on our psychology, economy, and culture. His many critiques of the Internet and Silicon Valley have led to him being described as Internet culture's conscience.
When Copernicus put the sun at the center of the solar system in 1543 instead of the Earth, it dealt a major blow to the self-esteem of people who needed to be at the center of it all.
