The Inevitable

Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future
Book • 2016
In 'The Inevitable,' Kevin Kelly outlines twelve technological forces that will significantly impact how we work, learn, and communicate over the next thirty years.

These forces include becoming, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, interacting, tracking, questioning, and beginning.

Kelly argues that understanding and embracing these forces will help individuals and businesses navigate the coming changes effectively.

The book is praised for its optimistic and insightful view of the future, although some critics note that it lacks a detailed discussion of the potential downsides of these technological advancements.
