1st Edition
by Chris Ategeka (Author)
Discover the technologies and trends that threaten humanity and our planet--- and how we can rein them back in, together
In The Unintended Consequences of Technology: Solutions, Breakthroughs and the Restart We Need,
accomplished tech entrepreneur Chris Ategeka delivers an insightful and
eye-opening exploration of the challenges and the opportunities at the
intersection of technology, society and our planet. Detailing both
positive and negative technology use cases that on one hand have made
humanity better, but on the other hand pose a serious threat to
individuals and groups across the world, the author demonstrates how to
avoid allowing powerful technologies to overcome our better natures.
In this book, you'll:
- Discover
how the forces of capitalism, greed and the myths that surround
meritocracy when combined with exponential technology pose an
existential risk for humanity.
- Explore
the many exponential technologies such as gene editing, 5G, behavior
modification, cyberspace… that have lots of promise but also
uncertainty.
- Consider the future of
humanity we wish to collectively build, and whether we can rebuild a
capacity for empathy at scale in our tech tools
Perfect
for founders, business leaders, executives, managers, Chief Technology
Officers, and anyone else [i.e. all human beings] responsible for the
use and proliferation of advanced technologies. The Unintended Consequences of Technology is a thought-provoking, must-read resource for those at the forefront of our new technological reality.
