Abundance
The Future Is Better Than You Think
Book • 2012
In this book, Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler present a contrarian view that the future is brighter than commonly perceived.
They document how exponential technologies, DIY innovators, technophilanthropists, and the rising billion (the world's poor empowered by modern communication technology) are conspiring to solve global problems such as access to clean water, food, energy, healthcare, education, and freedom.
The authors provide examples and strategic roadmaps for governments, industries, and entrepreneurs to address these challenges, offering a optimistic outlook on the potential for technological innovation to improve human living standards.
