Perfect for you if...

  • You're curious about how emerging technologies will actually affect your career, health, and daily life in the next decade.
  • You want expert analysis that connects the dots between AI, biology, and geopolitics rather than hype from tech evangelists.
  • You care about both the enormous potential and genuine risks of biotechnology and artificial intelligence.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a technical deep-dive into how neural networks or gene sequencing actually work.
  • You prefer narrative storytelling or case studies over big-picture frameworks and systems thinking.
  • You're sceptical that any single author can credibly cover genetics, AI, and international policy in one book.

About this book

Jamie Metzl, founder of OneShared. World, examines how artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies are reshaping human life and society. He explores the dual potential of these innovations: they could enhance health, address global food security, accelerate economic growth, preserve information across millennia, and address environmental challenges. However, without careful management, they also carry significant risks. Metzl integrates perspectives from science, technology, history, politics, and international affairs to present a view of the future that extends beyond the scope of individual specialists. The book provides an account of the current technological landscape and offers direction for the path forward.
