If you majored in humanities or social sciences, you were a fuzzy. If you majored in computer or hard sciences, you were a techie. While Silicon Valley is generally considered a techie stronghold, the founders of companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack, LinkedIn, PayPal, Stitch Fix, Reddit, and others are all fuzzies--in other words, people with backgrounds in the liberal arts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this brilliantly counterintuitive book, Hartley shatters assumptions about business and education today: learning to code is not enough. The soft skills--curiosity, communication, and collaboration, along with an understanding of psychology and societal ills--are central to why technology has value. Fuzzies are the instrumental stewards of robots, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. They offer a human touch that is of equal if not greater importance in our technology-led world than what most techies can provide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor anyone doubting whether a well-rounded liberal arts education is practical in today's world, Hartley's work will come as an inspiring revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67615316705647,"sku":"9781328915405","price":118.5,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1328915409.jpg?v=1790655407","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/the-fuzzy-and-the-techie","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
