"So, the key words for this book are convergence & acceleration. As technology advances accellerate they are also converging, and these combinations are happening faster than ever in the history of the planet, which is leading to previously un-thought-of applications and ideas.

Honestly, I'm struggling to remember a lot of this book, but I attribute this to my own distraction and not the quality of the writing or ideas. I just struggled to stay focused while listening.

I expected this book to be more philosophical but the specificity of ideas and possible applications made this book much more engaging that I expected even with my distraction. I particularly liked the chapter on the industry of food: vertical farms and lab-grown meats, plus the replenishment of forests.

The audio book has additions from the two authors. They comment on the chapter and provide new insights. I really appreciate that they took the time to do this. "
