“Exponential technologies are about to transform every aspect of our lives. Understanding the potential and implications of these technologies is crucial to every person and every company. In this book, Vivek provides you a clear and authoritative blueprint for assessing their benefits and risks.”

—Peter H. Diamandis, MD, Executive Founder and Director, Singularity University, and coauthor of the New York Times bestsellers Abundance and Bold

“Brilliant book! Our constantly-in-change world is now running on ‘exponential time,’ and this disruption has huge consequences. Vivek gives us the prism to make sense of it all.”

—John Sculley, former CEO, Apple

“Vivek possesses the brilliance and vision to foretell the technological path that will define our future. More important, he has the heart and compassion to trumpet the clarion call so that, as business leaders, we know how to take our employees with us on this journey of innovative enlightenment.”

—Lynn Tilton, CEO, Patriarch Partners, LLC

“The questions this book raises are too important to be ignored by our political leaders or by the general public. Vivek Wadhwa compellingly explains the awesome opportunities technological advances hold for us. He also demonstrates the urgent need to establish a new system of governance to ensure that we can reap the rewards while containing the risks awaiting us.”

—Kofi Annan, seventh Secretary-General, United Nations; corecipient of the Nobel Peace Prize; and founder and Chairman, Kofi Annan Foundation
