This book is supposed to scare you! If reading this doesn't frighten you, then I haven't done my job. The most important thing in this book that I want my friends to take away is how our entire civilization is predicated on accelerating technological change. It means that all technological progress is the backbone of human civilization improving. As the prominent venture capitalist and first investor in Facebook, Peter Thiel says, our entire civilization has grown because of vast improvements in technology. The worlds most respected futurist Ray Kurzweil says, we didn't stay on the ground, we didn't stay on the planet and we won't stay within the limits of our biology. In less than 40 years we will become like the Gods with magical technologies that would blow your mind today, as my friend Jason Silva says, "Having created the Gods, we shall become like the GODS!"This century will make the biggest shift in our humanity from a type zero to a type 1 civilization (explained later in the book) and we will solve many of the grand challenges of the age old, like curing aging, have mind uploading and unlimited clean and free energy. We shall even create new technologies that will make science fiction into science fact. You do want to make it to the future right? I hope this book motivates you to be aware at the possibility of what's coming. The new digital renaissance that's coming soon. Very soon at hand. I mean we are going to be living in times of great prosperity and technological marvel, the 21st century will see 20000 years of progress due to the exponential nature of technology. Not sure? Well I shall explore futurists Michio Kaku and Raymond Kurzweil's claims who believe so. I firmly believe that the greatest technological advances will take place over this century. I will examine the credibility of new technological advances in a fun way! Well read on and find out!In this book I will tell you about how the future will change for the better and how you can capitalize on that growth to better apply this knowledge to enhance your life.
