Have you ever thought about what will happen to our world in the near future? Will we start flying in cars, and instead of waiters, will we be served by robots, or will the changes be less significant? What will our world look like: a utopia or a dystopia? What advantages and dangers for humanity do the five forces that are rapidly changing our world hold: the merger of biological and machine brains, complete automation, bioconvergence, human expansion, and explosive growth of intelligence?
Stephen Hoffman has worked with leading entrepreneurs, scientists, and futurists who are creating new technologies. Discover their forecasts about the future and answers to the questions:
— What happens if we implant neural implants in the brain, connect to the internet, and thus communicate with each other?
— What is it like to connect with machines and give birth to a race of cyborgs?
— Will neuro-preservation and cryoconservation defeat death?
— Will mangonanas, blackberries, and carrotcabbage, genetically edited using CRISPR, be tasty?
— And what will happen when artificial intelligence matches human strength or even surpasses it?
Progress cannot be stopped, but we can guide it. Let’s explore together where the five forces transforming the world will lead us!
