About this listen

The conventional wisdom on how technology will change the future is wrong. Mark Mills lays out a radically different and optimistic vision for what's really coming.

The mainstream forecasts fall into three camps. One considers today as the "new normal," where ordering a ride or food on a smartphone or trading in bitcoins is as good as it's going to get. Another foresees a dystopian era of widespread, digitally driven job—and business—destruction. A third believes that the only technological revolution that matters will be found with renewable energy and electric cars.

But according to Mills, a convergence of technologies will instead drive an economic boom over the coming decade, one that historians will characterize as the "Roaring 2020s." It will come not from any single big invention, but from the confluence of radical advances in three primary technology domains: microprocessors, materials, and machines. Accelerating and enabling all of this is the Cloud, history's biggest infrastructure.

We have wrung much magic from the technologies that fueled the last long boom. And this time, we have the Cloud amplifying everything. The next long boom starts now.

Just don't

I picked this book because I have seen an interview with the author and I liked him.
The problem with this audio book is the delivery. The narrator is so incredibly bad, that I could not take it for more than ten minutes at a time. It is beyond annoying. Make sure to listen a to a sample before you waste your money on it.
Eventually I got the epub version.
As for the book itself, It is mainly good. The author is an energy expert, but when it gets into futurology, IT and AI some of his points are questionable. Still, the book I recommend, just not this reading of it.

Information For Our Time

Lots of great information about current technologies, but I didn't like the narrator. I wish Mr Mills would have read his own work.
