This is #1 of a new weekly podcast featuring every chapter in my book Technology vs Humanity.

In the first chapter titled “A Prologue to the Future”, I indicate that we are halfway through the century’s second decade and at a critical pivot point in technology evolution, a hinge moment when change will not only become combinatory and exponential but inevitable and irreversible. I  argue that now is our last chance to question the nature of these coming challenges, from artificial intelligence to human genome editing, and striking a balance will be the key.

Author: Gerd Leonhard

In the words of American poet John Berryman, “the possibility that has been overlooked is the future”. Most of us are far too busy coping with present challenges to explore the future in any depth – and when we do our own cravings and fears often run away with us, resulting in utopias or dystopias that are not very helpful in terms of planning and decisions. Today’s professionals, leaders and their organisations need a dedicated, passionate long-term understanding of the future if they are to successfully navigate the exponential waves of change. For countless individuals and organizations that intelligence is called Gerd Leonhard.
