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 roadmap to our near future, the author investigates how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a whole. What happens as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, and sensors crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today's legacy industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet?This book overviews some of the most disruptive upcoming technologies and provides the foundation of knowledge for you to be able to leverage new tech to your advantage, covered: - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it will rapidly saturate business, the workplace, and the home.- How it is technically possible for AI to become more intelligent than humans and the consequences this technological singularity would reap on humanity.- The future of the internet, Big Data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and how they will transform the nature of business.- Autonomous vehicles and how you will soon be ditching your vehicle in favor of hailing a driverless vehicle through a simple phone app.- We will ever be able to ditch our overreliance on filthy fossil fuels? Who will emerge victorious in the fight between renewables and nuclear?- The possibilities of genetic and bionic modifications and how we may soon be able to order genes like food on a menu. What are the consequences of man playing God and taking us beyond our natural limits?- The future of the welfare state and how schemes such as Universal Basic Income and Negative Income Tax may be the only way to keep money flowing in an era of mass automation.- And finally where you fit into all this. We look at the future of employment and the workplace to see who will be the real winners and losers in the next tech revolution.
