**From the _New York Times_ bestselling authors of _Abundance_ and _Bold _comes 
a practical playbook for technological convergence in our modern era.**

In their book _[Abundance](https://fundraising.co.uk/books/abundance-the-future-is-better-than-you-think/)_,
bestselling authors and futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler tackled grand
global challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy.

Then, in _[Bold](https://fundraising.co.uk/books/bold-how-to-go-big-create-wealth-and-impact-the-world/)_,
they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed the emergence of
powerful new entrepreneurs. Now the bestselling authors are back with _The Future
Is Faster Than You Think_ , a blueprint for how our world will change in response
to the next ten years of rapid technological disruption.

Technology is accelerating far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. During
the next decade, we will experience more upheaval and create more wealth than we
have in the past hundred years. In this gripping and insightful roadmap to our near
future, Diamandis and Kotler investigate how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating
technologies will impact both our daily lives and society as a whole.

What happens as AI, robotics, virtual reality, digital biology, and sensors crash
into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences
transform today’s legacy industries? What will happen to the way we raise our kids,
govern our nations, and care for our planet?

Diamandis, a space-entrepreneur-turned-innovation-pioneer, and Kotler, bestselling
author and peak performance expert, probe the science of technological convergence
and how it will reinvent every part of our lives-transportation, retail, advertising,
education, health, entertainment, food, and finance-taking humanity into uncharted
territories and reimagining the world as we know it.

As indispensable as it is gripping, _The Future Is Faster Than You Think _provides
a prescient look at our impending future.
