À propos de cet audio
Find out where our world is headed with this dazzling firsthand account of inventing the future from the number one New York Times best-selling author of What Should I Do with My Life? and the founder of science accelerator IndieBio.
Decoding the World is a buddy adventure about the quest to live meaningfully in a world with such uncertainty. It starts with Po Bronson coming to IndieBio.
Arvind Gupta created IndieBio as a laboratory for early biotech start-ups trying to solve major world problems. Glaciers melting. Dying bees. Infertility. Cancer. Ocean plastic. Pandemics.
Arvind is the fearless one, a radical experimentalist. Po is the studious detective, patiently synthesizing clues others have missed. Their styles mix and create a quadratic speedup of creativity. Yin and Yang crystallized.
As they travel around the world, finding scientists to join their cause, the authors bring their firsthand experience to the great mysteries that haunt our future. Natural resource depletion. Job-taking robots. China's global influence.
Arvind feels he needs to leave IndieBio to help start-ups do more than just get started. But as his departure draws near, he struggles to leave the sanctum he created. While Po has to prove he can keep the "indie" in IndieBio after Arvind is gone.
After looking through their lens, you'll never see the world the same.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"These two headed off to explore knowledge, invention, art, superstition, maybe even salvation and have emerged with what looks like the planet's first atlas of apocalypse avoidance." (Jack Hitt, author of Bunch of Amateurs)
"YES! This is it. The Big Book of Answers you've been looking for. It's kind and funny. It explores and explains. Think of it as a guide book to the human animal for the 21st century." (Noah Hawley, creator of Fargo)
"Like being a fly on the wall of the world's most interesting dinner party. Spectral, scary, stupefying, and yet strangely optimistic, DECODING THE WORLD is a journey through the weirdness and wondrousness of the natural world, and our precarious place within it. Required reading for restless times." (James Nestor, New York Times best-selling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art)

Amusing musings about the future of the world
I've enjoyed Po Bronson's work in the past, so I decided to give this a listen.
I was excited by what IndieBio's companies are accomplishing and I liked the variety of topics covered in the book. I did find the number of chapters dedicated to gene editing to be excessive.
It was nice to hear the original authors' voices, but Gupta's cadence needs a little work.
Bronson's chapter on meaning being the greatest positive contributor to a person's health had the potential to be the richest one in the book, but he just stopped writing it because he didn't like where it was going. I've seen artists' experimental sketches on display in museums but never as central exhibits; he should have left the unfinished chapter out of the final draft. And Gupta's theory of Martin Luther's revolt against the Catholic Church being the West's birth moment of science is an interesting one, but poorly and insufficiently developed.
They probably could have stuck to writing as biotech businessmen and saved their feeble attempts at historical, anthropological and philosophical analyses fot a separate book.
