Recommendation
Does the future hold a Star Trek utopia or a Mad Max dystopia – ordinary people will decide. For now, humanity is the ambivalent “driver” of technological change. Your voice matters in urgent debates about driverless cars, killer drones, artificial intelligence, job-stealing robots, data privacy and gene splicing. In this rapid-fire look at current and near-future paradigm-shifting technology, futurist Vivek Wadhwa – writing with tech editor Alex Salkever – focuses on equitability, risk versus benefit, and autonomy versus reliance. getAbstract recommends their eye-opening report to entrepreneurs, technologists, innovators, investors, futurists and curious consumers.
About the Authors
Engineering professor, entrepreneur and columnist Vivek Wadhwa teaches at Carnegie Mellon and Duke. He co-authored The Immigrant Exodus – a 2012 The Economist book of the year. Former tech editor for BusinessWeek online, Alex Salkever is VP of communications at Mozilla.
