Industry Disruption
An Industry Disruption book makes a contrarian case for where a field is going next. It names what is breaking in the old model and argues, with evidence, for what replaces it. It is the book insiders argue about because it takes a side.
These are written by people close enough to an industry to see the fault lines before they widen. If you want the argument about the future, start here.
