“As someone who pores over countless business books each year, his was a joy to read. Frankly, I can’t stand the overly long, formulaic books that have only a couple of new ideas in the first two chapters and then fill the rest of the book with ponderous examples that barely advance the thinking. The Age of the Platform makes points throughout and that makes it fun and worth reading.”–Brian Sommer ZDNet blogger and founder of TechVentive
  “The Age of the Platform is the kind of book to read if you want to better understand the Internet and how your company can fit into it and create a business model to profit from it.”

–Anita Campbell, co-author of Visual Marketing. –Read the entire review here.
  “Phil Simon writes with a brilliant and simple clarity that takes the complex and makes it understandable and makes the would-be or could-be boring very interesting. He understands the technological age in which we all reside and translates it into meaningful advice. The Age of the Platform is an enjoyable and informative read.”

–Paul Berry, Host, Home & Finance Radio on Radio America
