Futurist Gerd Leonhard reads his chapter in the 2015 book 'The Future of Business', entitled 'Redefining the relationship of man and machine'. In his piece, Gerd addresses the key issues and opportunities that will arise from an increasing convergence of humanity and technology, touching on related topics such as AI, Digital Ethics, reductionism, technological unemployment and machine-thinking.

This film is best watched as a kind of audio-visual meditation: carve out 30 minutes in your schedule, sit back on the couch, put some nice headphones on, and just let the story unfold!
A big thank-you to the producer and art director, Jean Francois Cardella (Story7) and Sylvain Collet (Studio Chamberlain) for editing and special effects.
