The Fourth Industrial Revolution

Description

The founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum on how the impending technological revolution will change our lives.

We are on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And this one will be unlike any other in human history.

Characterised by new technologies fusing the physical, digital, and biological worlds, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will impact all disciplines, economies, and industries - and it will do so at an unprecedented rate. World Economic Forum data predicts that by 2025 we will see the commercial use of nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than human hair; the first transplant of a 3D-printed liver; 10% of all cars on US roads being driverless; and much more besides.

In The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Schwab outlines the key technologies driving this revolution, discusses the major impacts on governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals, and offers bold ideas for what can be done to shape a better future for all.
