The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies by Andrew McAfee, Erik Brynjolfsson

Great ideas, pretty readable without getting _too_ dry ... but probably could have done with a more ruthless editor to keep it from getting too meandering.
Also I really wish they'd addressed the fact that almost every human referenced is a man, including literally every single quote at the beginning of each chapter. It's a pretty common phenomenon in these sorts of futures-economy-innovation fields, but it's a real bummer when people don't address it.
