Abundance
by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler
The case that exponential technologies, computing, networks, AI, biotech, energy, will provide abundance for all within a generation, with the forces of DIY innovators, technophilanthropists and the rising billion. Some predictions from 2012 have not arrived on schedule; the frame of thinking exponentially rather than linearly remains useful.
Read it if…
you want an optimistic, technology-driven view of the future and the reasoning behind it.
Skip it if…
you want sober forecasting; it is advocacy.
Three things you will actually use
- Think exponentially; linear intuition misses the curve.
- Scarcity is often a technology problem.
- Optimism is a strategic choice.
Do this first
Identify one problem you consider permanent and research the technologies working on it.
Our verdict
Optimistic advocacy.
