"As high-tech innovation accelerates in ways that deliver huge benefits to society but also create unique challenges, Azeem Azhar delivers a comprehensive but lively take on the key issues informing what he calls the Exponential Age. It's an essential addition to the ongoing discourse about where these remarkable new technologies can take us and where we should be aiming to go. Highly recommended! -- ""Reid Hoffman, cofounder of LinkedIn and author of Masters of Scale"" Azeem is a master at interpreting a dazzling array of trends and illuminating the future. The Exponential Age is a must-read to understand the problems, promise, and paths forward on the exponential journey ahead for us as individuals, businesses, and society. -- ""Paul Daugherty, Accenture's Group chief executive, technology and chief technology officer"" Azeem Azhar is one of the best-regarded thought leaders in the industry. But more importantly, he has a broad understanding of the exponential ways technology can be used to solve our biggest problems, shape our society, and bridge cultural divides. -- ""Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify"" Azeem's kinetic mind is uniquely able to connect social, political, economic, and technological trends in ways that inspire and challenge. The Exponential Age is a natural extension and expansion of Azeem's ability, on display in his podcast and newsletter, of isolating, unpicking, and retying the threads which make up the fabric of our technosociety. -- ""Carly Kind, director of the Ada Lovelace Institute"" While many talk about the rate of innovation, too few talk about its direction. Azeem's new book helps bring that directionality to the surface through a dynamic understanding of the connections between economic, social, and technological forces. Read this book if you are interested in how we can design a more inclusive and sustainable system with a redirection of technological change at its center. -- ""Mariana Mazzucato, professor at University College London and author of Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism"""
