*2021 Financial Times Best Book of the Year* A bold exploration and
call-to-arms over the widening gap between AI, automation, and big
data--and our ability to deal with its effects We are living in the
first exponential age. High-tech innovations are created at
dazzling speeds; technological forces we barely understand remake
our homes and workplaces; centuries-old tenets of politics and
economics are upturned by new technologies. It all points to a
world that is getting faster at a dizzying pace. Azeem Azhar,
renowned technology analyst and host of the Exponential View
podcast, offers a revelatory new model for understanding how
technology is evolving so fast, and why it fundamentally alters the
world. He roots his analysis in the idea of an "exponential gap" in
which technological developments rapidly outpace our society's
ability to catch up. Azhar shows that this divide explains many
problems of our time--from political polarization to ballooning
inequality to unchecked corporate power. With stunning clarity of
vision, he delves into how the exponential gap is a near-inevitable
consequence of the rise of AI, automation, and other exponential
technologies, like renewable energy, 3D printing, and synthetic
biology, which loom over the horizon. And he offers a set of policy
solutions that can prevent the growing exponential gap from
fragmenting, weakening, or even destroying our societies. The
result is a wholly new way to think about technology, one that will
transform our understanding of the economy, politics, and the
future.
