AOL Co-Founder Steve Case Writing Book on Internet ‘Third Wave’

By Dianna Dilworth 

Simon & Schuster has acquired a book from Steve Case, co-founder of America Online (AOL) and the Chairman and CEO of DC-based investment firm Revolution.

In the book, entitled, The Third Wave, Case will give his inside story of the largest merger in history between AOL and Time Warner, and what he learned from it all. The work will also look at the so-called third wave of the Internet, a post-Facebook, post-Google, post-SnapChat world, “a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major ‘real world’ sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, food and even traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ retailers―and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.”

The book is slated for worldwide publication in April 2016. An audio edition will also be released simultaneously by Simon & Schuster Audio.
