Summary:
"A revelatory take on where
technology
is taking us, from one of the worlds most-followed tech writers. We are entering the
Exponential
Age
. Between faster computers, better software and bigger data, ours is the first era in human history in which
technology
is constantly
accelerating
. Azeem Azhar - writer, technologist, and creator of the acclaimed
Exponential
View newsletter - understands this shift better than anyone.
Technology
, he argues, is developing at an increasing,
exponential
rate. But human
society
- from our businesses to our political institutions - can only ever adapt at a slower, incremental pace. The result is an '
exponential
gap', between the power of new
technology
and our ability to keep up. In
Exponential
, Azhar shows
how
this
exponential
gap can explain our
society
's most pressing problems - from established businesses' difficulty keeping up with digital platforms, to the sclerotic response of liberal democracies to fast-moving social problems. And he draws on cutting-edge social science to explain
how
to stop the
exponential
gap eroding our economies, our
politics
and our lives.
Exponential
technology
is upending our
society
