Technology is taking over the world, and the lines between natural and man-made are becoming thinner. Perhaps in a couple of decades we will be able to search for information on the Internet, just by thinking about it, and live for many hundreds of years, artificially renewing our bodies. And if this happens, what will happen to humanity? What if technology frees us from the need to work, aging and disease? Internationally recognized futurist Gerd Leonhard reflects on how the world around us and ourselves will change. This book is based on many facts and studies, with the help of which the author predicts the future of humanity. Of course, no matter how accurate the forecasts are, we will not be able to know in advance exactly how the people of the new world will change, how they will relate to themselves and each other. But it makes sense to prepare for the civilization of the future now! Gerd Leongard is one of the top 100 opinion leaders in Europe according to Wired Magazine. The Wall Street Journal named Leonhard one of the world's leading technology futurists.
