The next 20 years will witness more change than during any other period since the dawn of civilization. This change will be brought on by massive developments in information technology and artificial intelligence. In one domain after another, we will see advances where intelligent systems significantly outperform their human counterparts.
Government will be no exception. With the increasing dysfunction in our political institutions and the rapid advances in technology, it is inevitable that there will be a new approach to government. This book simply describes one such possible approach.
Much is at stake. If we take advantage of the new tools at our disposal, we could usher in a new golden age; if we ignore them, we could be faced with a devastating perfect storm. To be a good citizen, it’s essential to know what’s going on—reading this book will give you a glimpse into the future with an emphasis on how to avoid the problems and embrace the opportunities.
In addition, this book will be fun to read. It is short and to the point—there are around 100 pages, which means that the average adult should be able to read it in two hours and fully get the message. Each page stands by itself and presents a single idea. Professional photography, illustrations, diagrams, and charts on each page go beyond decoration and augment comprehension.
Enjoy!
