As the founder of Reputation.com, Michael Fertik is already a visionary entrepreneur.

In the Networked Age, as we share more and more information about ourselves online, reputation becomes an increasingly essential asset. While many people are vaguely aware of this fact, few have thought about it as deeply as Michael Fertik has. His new book shows the many ways that we produce data about ourselves -- and how we can harness the power of reputation to thrive in our new highly transparent, highly connected world * Reid Hoffman, co-Founder and Chairman of LinkedIn and author of the bestsellers The Start-Up of You and The Alliance *
Michael Fertik is that rare beast; a tech CEO who thinks critically, writes beautifully and isn't scared of exposing the inane group think that corrupts most of Silicon Valley. Not only is Fertik the world's leading authority on our new reputation economy, but he's invested his considerable intellect in writing the definitive study of this economy. A must read by technology's most provocative CEO/writer * Andrew Keen, author of Digital Vertigo and Cult of the Amateur *
Who are you? You thought you knew, but Michael Fertik explains in his fascinating book that how other people see you isn't under your control.
