Before you commit to the full argument, you can look inside SPEED no limits in the digital era. A free preview is available so that readers can sample the structure, the tone and the ideas of the book, and an audio preview lets you hear a sample of the narration. It is the fastest way to decide whether this is the book you need for the year ahead and how you would prefer to read it.
Read a preview of the text
The text preview opens the beginning of the book, where the author frames the central question of the digital era and introduces the five points that speed up a business. It shows how the book moves from historical perspective to practical instruction, and it gives a sense of the accessible style that readers single out in their reviews. A few pages are usually enough to tell whether the author's voice fits the way you like to learn.
Listen to a sample of the audiobook
The audio edition is read by a narrator whose energetic delivery turns the argument itself into an experience of speed. Listeners describe it as remarkable and easy to follow, and many choose the audio format because the subject suits movement and commutes. A short sample is enough to judge whether this narrator fits the way you learn, and it costs nothing to find out.
The audio version also gives a useful second perspective on the book: hearing the argument read aloud makes the structure of each chapter more visible, which helps a reader who later returns to the text with a specific question in mind.
Ways to look inside the book
Two complementary entry points are available, each suited to a different kind of reader and to a different moment in the day:
| Preview format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Text preview | Readers who sample structure, argument and language before buying |
| Audio preview | Listeners who want to judge narration and pace before downloading the audiobook |
What you can expect to meet in the preview
The opening material sets expectations for the rest of the book, and readers who sample it usually keep an eye out for the same landmarks as they read on:
- the framing of the fourth industrial revolution and what makes it different from earlier ones;
- the five points that speed up your business, from security to digital transformation;
- the promise of guest contributions from global technology and policy leaders;
- the practical, question-driven approach the author takes to complex technology.
If those landmarks match the problems you are actually facing, the preview has done its job: it has turned a general recommendation into a decision you can make for yourself, without relying on someone else's summary of the book.
Formats and editions
SPEED is available in print and in digital form, and the audiobook is published separately. The preview is offered in any of the reading formats the reader prefers, so there is no obstacle between curiosity and the first page. Whichever format you sample, the preview leads naturally into the full book and into the opinions that other readers have published, giving you a complete picture before you spend anything at all.
After the preview
Most readers who sample the preview move straight on to one of the editions, and the site is arranged to make that easy. From here you can look at what the book covers in more detail, read the opinions of other readers, or go directly to the purchase page and choose between print, digital and audio. There is no wrong order, but starting with the preview is the one that costs nothing.

How to download the preview
The preview is offered in any of the reading formats a visitor prefers, so there is no single correct way to start. Choose the format that matches your device and the moment you have available, and the sample will open the same opening argument: the framing of the digital era, the five points that speed up a business, and the accessible style that readers single out in their reviews.
Why readers sample before buying
Sampling first is not hesitation; it is the same discipline the book itself recommends. A reader who checks whether the argument connects with their own situation is already acting on the idea that preparation beats guesswork. The preview exists so that the decision to buy rests on the text itself rather than on a description of it, and it is free of cost and obligation.
Some readers come to the preview after hearing the author speak, and use it to decide whether the written version adds enough to justify the time. Others arrive with no prior exposure at all and simply want to know if a book about digital transformation will speak to their sector. In both cases the sample answers the question directly, in the author's own words, within a few minutes of reading or listening.
A preview is also a checklist
Use the sample as a test of your own priorities. If the opening pages raise questions you have been carrying for months, that is a sign the book addresses your situation rather than a general audience. If they do not, you have lost nothing but a few minutes, and you know more about what you actually need than before you started.
