The Big Digital Era

Summary
Editor's review
The core value of the book lies in its clear framework and penetrating insights. It does not stop at general talk about technological concepts but explores in depth the value-creation mechanisms of data as a new factor of production, the operating principles of the platform economy, the challenges of digital governance, and the individual's position in the digital torrent. Citing numerous domestic and international cases—from smart cities to the industrial internet, from the consumer internet to the industrial internet—it vividly depicts a panorama of the digital age. For readers who wish to understand the underlying logic of changing times, this book offers a valuable cognitive map.
Reading the book, one senses a calm and restrained narrative style. While showing the enormous potential of digital technology, the authors also carefully discuss practical issues such as data security, privacy protection, and the digital divide, avoiding a blindly optimistic technological determinism. This balanced perspective makes the book suitable not only for practitioners seeking direction but also for general readers building a rational framework against information anxiety. It is more like the measured discourse of a wise person, helping you see the essence and grasp the threads amid the noisy tide of technology.

Reading tips
- It is advisable first to read through the table of contents to grasp the book's "technology-economy-society" analytical framework, then choose chapters of interest for deeper reading.
- While reading, reflect in light of current digital hot topics and try using the book's theoretical framework to interpret reality; this will yield deeper understanding.
- The book involves some economic and sociological concepts. If you encounter obstacles in understanding, do not get stuck; grasping the core viewpoints is enough, as the book focuses on providing perspectives rather than definitions to memorize.

About the author
Ouyang Rihui is an author with works in the fields of finance and economics, management, and politics. Public information about him is limited: his birth year, birthplace, education, and professional positions are not clearly recorded, so the available basis for understanding him is mainly the orientations shown in his three books. The Era of Big Data focuses on economic and industrial change in the wave of digitalization, while The Complete Operations Manual for Social E-commerce: Strategic Framework + Case Analysis + Practical Techniques turns to the practical level, combining strategic frameworks, case analysis, and hands-on techniques to serve the business needs of e-commerce practitioners. Deepening Reform with Greater Political Courage and Wisdom reflects the author's thinking on reform issues. Overall, his writing spans macro trend judgment and specific operational methods, addresses both political and economic topics, and tends toward framework organization combined with practical application, making it suitable for readers interested in the digital economy, e-commerce operations, and reform.
Wen Danfeng is an author active in the fields of finance, management, and health. Public information about him is limited, and details such as nationality, birth and death dates, and educational background are not recorded in the available sources. Five of his works are currently known, including The Great Digital Age; The Complete Operations Manual for Social E-commerce: Strategic Framework + Case Analysis + Practical Techniques; The Digital Economy: A New Blueprint for China's Innovative Economic Growth; From Disruption to Rebirth: The Path of Enterprise Advancement in the "Internet+" Era; and Internet+ Health: Restructuring the Entire Healthcare Industry Chain. Judging from these subjects, he consistently focuses on the digital economy, e-commerce, corporate transformation, and the healthcare industry, and tends to combine strategic frameworks with case analysis. His writing is practical and trend-oriented, aimed at business managers and industry practitioners, and shows a certain accumulation in topics at the intersection of finance and health, with most works centering on industrial change in the context of "Internet+".
Currently, public information about Li Mingtao is limited: only one work, The Era of Big Numbers, is known, and it is classified under finance and economics. Judging from the title and category, the book addresses the digital economy and commercial change, discussing how data and technology affect industries and everyday economic life. It appears to be a popular finance title for general readers rather than an academic monograph. With no biographical or professional details available, it is not possible to confirm the author's background or to place the book within a larger body of work. Based on the available material, Li Mingtao's writing leans toward observing and summarizing broad trends of the times, likely in clear and accessible language that helps ordinary readers understand the economic shifts brought by digital technology. As this is the only work in the collection, the author's future direction and overall influence await further public information.
