Written by Paul G Roberts
NEXT is the definitive guide on what to expect from the next 20 years. The key changes in business, technology, and in life.
From mating and dating, from appliances to buildings, from communications to shopping, from advertising to education, from medicine to agriculture, your next 20 years is going to see science fiction become reality. The explosion of change due to the exponential advances in computing power combining with similarly exponential advances in Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Biotechnology, Robotics, and Nanotechnology, is about to shake the fabric of life as you know it to its core.
In this book Roberts decided that the best way to really find out what was going to happen in the future was to ask the scientists who are inventing it. This book documents the study and research he did during 2009, visiting the world’s leading technology hubs, meeting with scientists and companies who are making tomorrow’s technology. From Seattle to Silicon Valley, to Hollywood, to Boston, from Santa Monica to San Francisco and Palm Springs. His many meetings, lectures and conversations form much of the factual content behind this book, his fertile imagination fuels the rest.
