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 robots serve us, 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 lie in the five forces rapidly changing our world: the merging of biological and machine brains, full automation, bioconvergence, human expansion, and explosive growth of intelligence?
Stephen Hoffman has worked with leading entrepreneurs, scientists, and futurists who create new technologies. Discover their forecasts about the future and answers to questions:
— What will happen if we implant neural implants in our brains, 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 cryo-conservation help defeat death?
— Will mangonanas, blackberry blocks, and carrot cabbage, genetically edited using CRISPR, taste good?
— And what will happen when artificial intelligence matches or even surpasses human strength?
Progress cannot be stopped, but we can direct it. Let's take a look together at where the five forces changing the world will lead us!
