Beyond that, the book takes an in-depth look at how we have arrived at this dizzying point in our history, who holds the reins of these formidable technologies, mostly without any supervision. It explains why we as business leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, educators, lawmakers, investors or users and all responsible citizens must act now to influence and help oversee the future of a technological world. Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, decentralization, virtual and augmented reality, and permanent connectivity are just a few of the technologies and trends considered, but the book delves much deeper, too. You'll find a thorough analysis of energy and medical technologies, as well as cogent predictions for how new tech will redefine your work, your money, your entertainment, your transportation and your home and cities, and what you need to know to harness and prosper from these technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthors Daniel Doll-Steinberg and Stuart Leaf draw on their decades of building and implementing disruptive technologies, investing and deploying funds, and advising business leaders, governments and supranational bodies on change management, the future of work, innovation and disruption, education and the economy to consider how every area of our lives, society, economy and government will likely witness incredible changes in the coming decade. When we look just a bit further into the future, we can see that the task facing us is to completely reinvent life as we know it--work, resources, war, and even humanity itself will undergo redefinition, thanks to these new and emerging tools. In \u003ci\u003eUnsupervised\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll consider what these redefinitions might look like, and how we as individuals, and part of society, can prevent powerful new technologies from falling into the wrong hands or be built to harm us.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGet a primer on the foundational technologies that are reshaping business, pleasure, and life as we know it\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about the lesser known, yet astonishing, technologies set to revolutionize medicine, agriculture, and beyond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider the potential impact of new tech across business sectors--and what it means for you\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain the knowledge and inspiration you need to harness your own power and push the future in the direction of good for all of us not just the few\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplore the best ways to invest in the changes these technologies of the future will bring about\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a remarkably thorough and comprehensive look at the future of technology and everything it touches.
