E-Books →Superconvergence How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform our Lives, Work, and World

InSuperconvergence, leading futurist and OneShared.World founder Jamie Metzl explores how artificial intelligence, genome sequencing, gene editing, and other revolutionary technologies are transforming our lives, world, and future. These accelerating and increasingly interconnected technologies have the potential to improve our health, feed billions of people, supercharge our economies, store essential information for millions of years, and save our planet, but they can also―if we are not careful―do immeasurable harm.
The challenge we face is that while our ability to engineer the world around us is advancing exponentially, our processes for understanding the scope, scale, and implications of these changes, and for managing our godlike powers wisely, are only inching forward glacially. Luckily, in Jamie Metzl, we have a leading expert whointegrates science, technology, history, politics, and international affairs to envision a future that most specialists, almost by definition, cannot see. Inthis bold and inspiring exploration of transformative human knowledge,Metzl gives us the definitive account of the technological precipice on which we stand and the map to where we go from here.
