A New Age of Reason

We're in the midst of a new wave of technology--one that's ushering our world to an entirely new era. The past several decades have been defined by many technology waves, which transformed business operations and productivity, personal computing, connectivity, the web, social media, and the internet of just about everything. This new wave stands apart because technology has finally evolved to impact a much higher purpose: humanity. This book addresses the amazing opportunity and pressing responsibility we must embrace to use technology to benefit our world, while applying the right guardrails ensuring innovations are not used to society's detriment. Current breakthroughs in AI, quantum computing, chips/sensors, new energy forms, and biological systems have been evolving over decades to reach this point. These technologies create the foundation for breakthroughs holding promise to answer some of today's most pressing problems, from climate change to better health. They can impact our world in ways never before possible, all of which has moved us into this new era: A New Age of Reason . Just as science and technology were driving forces in the original Age of Reason to better humanity through inventions such as vaccines and the first battery, we must embark this time with the goal of using technology, reason, and the spark of imagination to solve problems that until now appeared unsolvable. You'll read about great innovators past and present, be inspired by stories of organizations transformed by tech for good, learn common threads that fuel their success, and get an overview of key technologies that are the driving forces of this era. A must-read for CEOs, executives, and future leaders, A New Age of Reason provides a roadmap on how to leverage today's innovations to unite purpose with profit, have a positive impact on humanity, and deliver a profound change in the world.
