Perfect for you if...

You're in leadership or strategy and need to understand which technologies will actually reshape your industry in the next decade.
You're curious about how exponential tech affects everything from healthcare to finance, not just Silicon Valley startups.
You want concrete examples and frameworks, not abstract futurism or doomsday predictions.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer deeply sceptical takes on tech hype and want counterarguments to optimistic forecasting.
You're looking for a dense academic treatise with rigorous scientific methodology rather than a business playbook.
You've already read Abundance and Bold and want substantially new ideas rather than their framework applied to emerging technologies.

About this book

From the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold, this book presents a practical guide to technological convergence and its effects on business, industries, and society over the next decade. Diamandis and Kotler examine how rapidly accelerating technologies—including AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, sensors, 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks—will converge and transform existing industries and business models. They explore how these technological shifts will reshape major sectors including transportation, retail, advertising, education, health, entertainment, food, and finance. The authors investigate the broader implications of technological disruption on daily life, child-rearing, governance, and environmental stewardship. Drawing on the science of technological convergence, they outline how these changes will affect humanity's future and reshape society as currently understood.
