The Future is Faster Than You Think

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Abundance and BOLD comes a practical playbook for how technology is converging to radically change our future. Technology is accelerating far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. During the next decade, we will experience more upheaval and create more wealth than we have in the past hundred years. In this gripping and insightful road map to our near future, futurist Peter H. Diamandis and science writer Steven Kotler investigate how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a whole. What happens as Al, robotics, and virtual reality crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today's biggest industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet? Diamandis and Kotler probe the science of technological convergence and how it will reinvent every part of our lives-transportation, retail, advertising, education, health, entertainment, food, real estate, and finance-taking humanity into uncharted territories and reimagining the world as we know it. As indispensable as it is gripping, The Future Is Faster Than You Think provides a prescient look at our impending future. Book jacket.
