A Brief History of a Perfect Future

Meer over het boek

In this deeply researched and compelling book, the authors do the imagining for you, describing seven so-incredible-as-to-be-almost-magical capabilities that will be available by 2050 in computing, communication, information, genomics, energy, water, and transportation. You may finally get that flying car, have ample water even in the desert, and be treated for disease through microscopic robots in your bloodstream. Drawing on their decades of experience helping major organizations formulate strategies for innovation, the authors demonstrate how to use combinations of those seven capabilities to imagine "perfect" futures, whether that means reversing climate change, resolving today's misinformation crisis, or living 20 years longer. This book paints visions of how the world could--and should--look as we pass the planet on to future generations--jacket
