Unsupervised: Navigating and Influencing a World Controlled by Powerful New Technologies

How a broad range of new immensely powerful technologies is disrupting  and transforming every corner of our reality―and why you must act and  adapt
Unsupervised: Navigating and Influencing a World Controlled by  Powerful New Technologies examines the fast-emerging technologies and  tools that are already starting to completely revolutionize our world.  Beyond that, the book takes an in-depth look at how we have arrived at  this dizzying point in our history, who holds the reins of these  formidable technologies, mostly without any supervision. It explains why  we as business leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, educators, lawmakers,  investors or users and all responsible citizens must act now to  influence and help oversee the future of a technological world. Quantum  computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, decentralization,  virtual and augmented reality, and permanent connectivity are just a few  of the technologies and trends considered, but the book delves much  deeper, too. You’ll find a thorough analysis of energy and medical  technologies, as well as cogent predictions for how new tech will  redefine your work, your money, your entertainment, your transportation  and your home and cities, and what you need to know to harness and  prosper from these technologies.

Authors Daniel Doll-Steinberg  and Stuart Leaf draw on their decades of building and implementing  disruptive technologies, investing and deploying funds, and advising  business leaders, governments and supranational bodies on change  management, the future of work, innovation and disruption, education and  the economy to consider how every area of our lives, society, economy  and government will likely witness incredible changes in the coming  decade. When we look just a bit further into the future, we can see that  the task facing us is to completely reinvent life as we know it―work,  resources, war, and even humanity itself will undergo redefinition,  thanks to these new and emerging tools. In Unsupervised, you’ll consider  what these redefinitions might look like, and how we as individuals,  and part of society, can prevent powerful new technologies from falling  into the wrong hands or be built to harm us.
