Description
Britain's leading tech writer reveals how to close the gap between technology and society.
The Times and Financial Times Book of the Year
'Enticing' Sunday Times | 'Engaging' Financial Times | 'Essential' Reid Hoffman | 'Excellent' Amol Rajan, BBC News
As technology accelerates, the human mind struggles to keep up - and our companies, workplaces, and democracies get left behind. This is the exponential gap.
Now, a leading technologist explores how this exponential gap is rewiring our world - and reveals how we should respond.
'Azhar has a knack for interrogating and inverting conventional thinking . . . A convincing case that something extraordinary is taking place in business and society' Economist
'Deft and clear-eyed . . . Perhaps Azhar's most valuable insight is that conservatively managing the individual risks posed by new technologies will not suffice' Financial Times
'Valuable and timely . . . A diligent and comprehensive definition of a new phase in human affairs' Sunday Times

Azeem Azhar's Exponential is widely praised for its insightful exploration of the rapid technological changes reshaping society, economics, and politics. It offers a fresh framework for understanding how these innovations impact the world and addresses the growing disconnect between democratic tools and the power of tech giants. The book is seen as both a necessary read and a formidable primer on our current technological revolution, delivering both engaging narratives and critical solutions for harnessing these changes for the greater good.
