Have you ever thought about what will happen to our world in the near future? Will we start flying in cars, and will robots serve us instead of waiters, or will the changes not be so significant? What will our world look like: a utopia or a dystopia? What advantages and dangers for humanity do the five forces rapidly changing our world hold: the merging of biological and machine brains, full automation, bioconvergence, human expansion, and explosive growth of intelligence?
Steven Hoffman has worked with cutting-edge entrepreneurs, scientists, and futurists who are creating new technologies. Find out their forecasts about the future and answers to questions:
- What will happen if neural implants are implanted in the brain, connecting to the internet and thus communicating with each other?
- What is it like to merge with machines and create a race of cyborgs?
- Will neuro-preservation and cryopreservation help defeat death?
- Will mango-nanas, blackberry blocks, and carrot-pasta genetically edited with CRISPR be tasty?
- And what will happen when artificial intelligence equals or even surpasses human intelligence?
Progress cannot be stopped, but we can guide it. Let's together see where the five forces changing the world will lead us!
