From the author of the international bestseller Future Files comes the one book you need to prepare for the world of tomorrow.
On most measures that matter, we've never had it so good. Physically, life for humankind has improved immeasurably over the last fifty years. Yet, spreading across the world, there is a crisis of confidence in progress.
To a large degree, the history of the foreseeable future will be about the relationship between people and technologies developed by a tiny handful of designers and developers. These inventions will undoubtedly change our lives, but - as they transform the media, the economy, healthcare, education, work, and the home - there is the persistent question of whose interests are being served. Are these technologies here for our benefit? Or are we here for theirs?
Richard Watson hereby extends an exuberant invitation for us to think deeply about the world of today and carefully consider what kind of future we really want to create.
