Peter is definitely a wise man, I tell you that. Even great company owners such as Mark Zuckerberg took his hat off to this man. Basically, in this book Zero to One, Peter shares a thought about the future in America.
“Everyone is so obsessed with social media and living their lives in front of the phones and computers, and only those who pay attention to success and creating something for the next generations will be even richer than Bill Gates.

Just when you thought everything is already invented, think again!
