Abundance

the book

In this powerful antidote to today's pessimism, New York Times Bestselling authors Peter H. Diamandis (X PRIZE Foundation and Singularity University Chairman) and Steven Kotler (award-winning Science Journalist) present a convincing case that the world is getting better at an accelerating rate. They show how four forces—exponential technologies, the DIY innovators, the Techno-philanthropists, and the Rising Billion—are conspiring to solve humanity's biggest challenges. Backed by decades of data and extensive interviews with hundreds of innovators and entrepreneurs (Larry Page, Steven Hawking, Dean Kamen, Daniel Kahneman, Elon Musk, Bill Joy, Stewart Brand, Jeff Skoll, Ray Kurzweil, Ratan Tata, Craig Venter, among many, many others), the authors present a road map on how we can rise to meet the challenge of providing abundance in all essential human needs (water, food, shelter, energy, information and communications technology, education, health care and freedom). Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian view backed up by exhaustive research gives us plenty of reason for optimism.
