- More about You Can Do Anything: The Surprising Power of a "Useless" Liberal Arts Education
The tech boom is not about a massive explosion of silicon and aluminum, but a massive expansion of the points of contact between humans and machines. George Anders' book YOU CAN DO ANYTHING suggests that the leading lights at many tech firms have deep backgrounds in the humanities, which unlocked potential that hordes of anonymous MBAs and BSs can only wish for. Anders believes that we all have the power to think on our feet, rally others, and embrace the exception, and that the book points us in that direction and shoves us to realize the power.

The tech boom is not driven by a massive explosion of silicon and aluminum, but rather by a massive expansion of the points of contact between humans and machines. This insight is at the heart of George Anders' book, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, which argues that the leading lights at many tech firms have deep backgrounds in the humanities, such as history, sociology, and English. This combination of reportage, academic studies, close contact with tech and business luminaries, fast-action-oriented distillations, and many years of experience reading the invisible magnetic waves of the business and creator worlds, allows Anders to write a book that will upset the conversation between STEM and the innumerate, between Mountain View and Main Street, and between parents and children.
Anders believes that we all have the power to think on our feet, rally others, and embrace the exception. He argues that the tech boom has less to do with a massive explosion of silicon and aluminum and more to do with a massive expansion of the points of contact between humans and machines. This expansion has unlocked potential that hordes of anonymous MBAs and BSs can only wish for.
In conclusion, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING is a powerful book that challenges the way we think about technology and business. It points us in the direction of a future where we all have the power to think on our feet, rally others, and embrace the exception. By understanding the power of the humanities and the expansion of the points of contact between humans and machines, we can create a better world for ourselves and future generations.
