Publisher's Summary

Audio Bonus! Includes exclusive conversations with the authors!

From the New York Times best-selling authors of Abundance and Bold comes a practical playbook for technological convergence in our modern era.

In their book Abundance, best-selling authors and futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler tackled grand global challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy. Then, in Bold, they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed the emergence of powerful new entrepreneurs. Now the best-selling authors are back with The Future Is Faster Than You Think, a blueprint for how our world will change in response to the next 10 years of rapid technological disruption.

Technology is accelerating far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. During the next decade, we will experience more upheaval and create more wealth than we have in the past hundred years. In this gripping and insightful roadmap to our near future, Diamandis and Kotler investigate how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a whole. What happens as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, and sensors crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today’s legacy industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet?

Diamandis, a space-entrepreneur-turned-innovation-pioneer, and Kotler, best-selling author and peak performance expert, probe the science of technological convergence and how it will reinvent every part of our lives - transportation, retail, advertising, education, health, entertainment, food, and finance - taking humanity into uncharted territories and reimagining the world as we know it.

As indispensable as it is gripping, The Future Is Faster Than You Think provides a prescient look at our impending future.

more than one out loud “WOW”!

This book opened my eyes to the levels of technological advancements we have grown too!

Superbly Narrated by Peter, with some great additional conversations between him and Steven which helps to elaborate, add context and sometimes update you on a more current version of where the process is now at, this audio journey into not just what’s coming but what we can already achieve with science and technology produced more than one out loud “WOW”!

I just picked up “Beyond” from the same authors and I am starting it right now!

Unbelievable!

Tons of great learnings for me that certainly get the brain percolating on how the future is going to catapult society into many things and areas that are not on the radar for most of us today.
As these technologies converge, how we use them to better all humans and our world is going to take some real collaboration.
Have my leadership team reading this book now as this is a great read for anyone with an inquiring mind.

Excellent! The World is getting more Amazing!

Our compounding knowledge with more collaboration is bringing interesting changes!

While some seems far fetched we can fly and who remembers like before the internet?

Filled with hope and creatively this is an awesome listen!

Can't wait for the future!
