The Times and Financial Times Book of the Year 'Enticing' Sunday
Times 'Engaging' Financial Times 'Excellent' Amol Rajan, BBC News
As technology accelerates, the human mind struggles to keep up -
and our companies, workplaces, and democracies get left behind.
This is the exponential gap. Now, a leading technologist explains
how this exponential gap is rewiring business and society.
Exploring corporations and the workplace, diplomacy and big tech,
Exponential makes sense of a period of dizzyingly fast change - and
reveals how we should respond. __ 'Valuable and timely . . . The
importance of the book lies in its diligent and comprehensive
definition of a new phase in human affairs.' Sunday Times 'A
sweeping, engaging, nuanced, and ultimately conflicted look at how
recent innovations in computing and other emerging technologies
have radically transformed human existence . . . Deft and
clear-eyed.' Financial Times 'Azhar has a knack for interrogating
and inverting conventional thinking . . . A convincing case that
something extraordinary is taking place in business and society.'
Economist 'Comprehensive but lively . . . An essential addition to
the ongoing discourse about where remarkable new technologies can
take us, and where we should be aiming to go. Highly recommended!'
Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling
'Azhar is unapologetically bullish about the power of technology .
. . He speaks powerfully about how we need to shape technology to
put it back in the service of society.' Guardian 'Read this book if
you are interested in how we can design a more inclusive and
sustainable system with a re-direction of technological change at
its centre.' Mariana Mazzucato, UCL professor and author of The
Value of Everything and Mission Economy 'A powerful argument . . .
Azeem Azhar's writing is informative and accessible, and his
prescient ideas are only going to become more important as time
goes on.' Hannah Fry, BBC Radio 4 presenter and author of Hello
World 'Azeem Azhar is one of the best-regarded thought leaders in
the industry . . . He has a broad understanding of the ways
technology can be used to solve our biggest problems, shape our
society, and bridge cultural divides.' Daniel Ek, co-founder and
CEO of Spotify 'Azeem Azhar is a globally recognised voice on
technology and its impact. He has written a fascinating and
important book, required reading for anyone seeking to understand
the new economy and the massive global corporations that seek to
dominate that economy.' Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, Royal
Society of Arts
