Synopsis

For decades, the tech industry has overwhelmingly been just a software industry. Silicon Valley’s big win was disrupting Yellow Cab. What about disrupting General Motors? General Mills? General Electric?

Energy, water, waste, food, manufacturing, construction—things every human on Earth relies on—have made incremental progress over the last century but have not seen the kind of exponential improvements we take for granted in computing.

Meanwhile, scientific progress continued, invention kept advancing, but these technologies were considered too hard by the tech geniuses preoccupied with shoving more ads into your prefrontal cortex.

Now is the moment when all of this changes. Seismic waves signaling the tectonic shift are underfoot. We call it Deep Tech—the advanced technologies we will use to solve the biggest problems in the world.

Deep Future is about giving you the mindset, the tools and the reasons for creating technology that matters.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

PABLOS HOLMAN is a hacker turned inventor. His wild career implementing science fiction, from cryptocurrency in the 1990s to AI for stock market trading to building spaceships at Blue Origin for Jeff Bezos, is like no other. Pablos helped start the Intellectual Ventures Lab for Nathan Myhrvold where his team was awarded 6,000 patents on their own inventions including a machine to suppress hurricanes, a nuclear reactor powered by nuclear waste, and a laser that can shoot mosquitoes out of the sky—part of an impact invention effort to eradicate malaria with Bill Gates.

A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Pablos is one of the most trusted technologists in the world. In some of the most popular TED Talks of all time, he ranges from how to steal passwords, hack smartphones, and pick locks live on stage to hacking the future with inventions to help solve the biggest problems in the world.

Currently based on Earth, Pablos leads Deep Future, an Invention Capital firm that backs the kind of mad scientists, rogue inventors, and maverick entrepreneurs who are crazy enough to try building a better future.
