Synopsis

The Times and Financial Times Book of the Year

'Comprehensive but lively . . . Highly recommended!' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling

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 explains how this exponential gap is rewiring business and society. Exploring corporations and the workplace, diplomacy and big tech, Exponential makes sense of a period of dizzyingly fast change - and reveals how we should respond.
