Meer over het boek

In an unparalleled collaboration, two leading thinkers in technology and foreign affairs present a transformational vision of a future where everyone is connected, filled with both challenges and opportunities. Eric Schmidt, a pivotal figure in Silicon Valley, and Jared Cohen, director of Google Ideas and former adviser to secretaries of state, tackle pressing questions about our future: Who will hold more power, the citizen or the state? Will technology facilitate or hinder terrorism? What is the balance between privacy and security in the digital age? This groundbreaking audiobook combines observation and insight to explore the promise and peril of the coming decades. Schmidt and Cohen offer a pragmatic yet inspirational account of our evolving world, highlighting what lies ahead for individuals, communities, and businesses. They illustrate the transformative impact of technology on our daily lives and societal understanding, as our virtual identities become increasingly significant. Their nuanced vision reveals a future where urban professionals use driverless cars and holograms, while individuals in developing regions leverage smartphones for economic advantage. The potential for "virtual statehood" and "Internet asylum" emerges, alongside risks of surveillance by tech-savvy regimes. Featuring perspectives from international figures, this analysis provides a compelling look at our hyper-connected future.
