The aim of the book is to look at how to put technology back in the service of society. New companies are arriving all the time, and those companies have a tremendous amount of power. Wheret the technologies allow firms to slip out d of society's expectations for what it is to be in service of the greater good,. you introduce this idea of the expenantial gap.
We are entering the Exponential Age. Between faster computers, better software and bigger data, ours is the first era in human history in which technology is constantly accelerating.
Azeem Azhar - writer, technologist, and creator of the acclaimed Exponential View newsletter - understands this shift better than anyone. Technology, he argues, is developing at an increasing, exponential rate. But human society - from our businesses to our political institutions - can only ever adapt at a slower, incremental pace. The result is an 'exponential gap', between the power of new technology and our ability to keep up. In this week's episode he speaks to Ros Urwin about this new era and what we we should do about it.
