World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion
and field guide to his previous book The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today technology is
changing everything--how we relate to one another the way we work how our economies and
goverments function and even what it means to be human. One need not look hard to see how the
incredible advances in artificial intelligence cryptocurrencies biotechnologies and the
internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the Fourth Industrial
Revolution is just beginning says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and
such rapid change he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine
the trajectory our future will take. We all have a responsibility - as citizens businesses
and institutions - to work with the current of progress not against it to build a future that
is ethical inclusive sustainable and prosperous. Drawing on contributions from 200 top
experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology to data
ethics Schwab equips readers with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the
future to leave the world better safer and more resilient than we found it.
