Summary:
"What's next for the world -- the advances and stumbling blocks that will emerge in the next ten years -- for businesses, governments, and the global community -- and how we can navigate them. Alec Ross was Hillary Clinton's Senior Advisor on Innovation. He traveled to forty-one countries, visiting some of the toughest places in the world -- refugee camps of Congo and Syrian war zones. From phone-charger stands in eastern Congo to R&D labs in South Korea, Ross has seen what the future holds. Over the past two decades, the Internet has radically changed markets and businesses worldwide. Ross shows us what's next, highlighting the best opportunities for progress and explaining why countries thrive or sputter. The specific fields that will most shape our economic future over the next ten years, including cybercrime and cybersecurity, the commercialization of genomics, the next step for big data, and the coming impact of digital technology on money, payments, and markets. How will we have to adapt to the changing nature of work? Is the prospect of cyberwar sparking the next arms race? How can the world's rising nations hope to match Silicon Valley in creating their own innovation hotspots? How sweeping global trends are affecting the ways we live. An essential work for understanding how the world works -- now and tomorrow -- and a must-read for businesspeople."--Provided by publisher.
