We have entered THE EXPONENTIAL AGE, a time of tech acceleration that leaves behind our economic & social norms. This gap explains many of today’s pressing issues. How can we resolve them? #exponential

🚀 The book argues that we are entering a new era of human history, the #Exponential Age, driven by a wave of transformative, exponential tech. It explains why this change has come about, what effect it has on economics/politics/society, & what we should do about it.

💡 The #Exponential Age’s hallmark is a dramatic shift in how technologies work - true to the observation by George Orwell that “every now and again something happens - ultimately traceable to changes in industrial technique - and the whole spirit of life changes.”

🤖🧬🔋🏭 Four major areas of technology are improving at #exponential rates: AI & computing; biology; renewable energy; & manufacturing. Every year they are massively declining in price and increasing in capability (for reasons I outline in the book).

🌏...it disrupts the balance of economic power between the developed/developing world; it leads to more and new kinds of warfare; and it erodes our existing political institutions, with particularly troubling implications for the future of democracy. #exponential 8/17
🤔In the book, I explore each of these areas - examining what effect these amazing technologies are having on our lives. And ultimately I’ll answer the question: what are the principles we need to thrive in the #Exponential Age? 9/17
👍🏽 So that’s the book: #Exponential in the UK and most of the world & The Exponential Age in the US and Canada. And did I mention that you can pre-order it now – that link again: azm.io/buynow 16/17
