  • Here come the robots : welcome your new job takers and caregivers. The coming decade will see societies transform as humans learn to live alongside robots
  • The future of the human machine : the last trillion-dollar industry was built on a code of 1s and 0s. The next will be built on our own genetic code
  • The code-ification of money, markets, and trust : is there an algorithm for trust? New ways to exchange are forcing a rewrite of the compact between corporation, citizen, and government
  • The weaponization of code : the world has left the Cold War behind only to enter into a Code War
  • Data, the raw material of the information age : land was the raw material of the agricultural age. Iron was the raw material of the industrial age. Data is the raw material of the information age

  • Conclusion: The most important job you will ever have
