The book is organized in three sections. In Section I the authors provide context for the realities of the Exponential Era, driven in particular by the growth of computing capacity. The book then describes the confluence of several high-value technology platforms such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things, Biotechnology and others. Section II is about how organizations can deal effectively with the realities of the Exponential Era by following a robust methodology the authors call SPX that challenges the current thinking in strategic planning. Section III discusses the impact of the Exponential Era on humanity, and how the rapid changes we are experiencing challenges our current societal structures, economics, and ethics."-- UR - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119746546 ER -
