Interconnected technological change is happening more rapidly than at any time in history and on such a scale that its impacts will be profound in fields as diverse as health, food production, and the strength of the overall economy. It may even bail us out from our assaults on the planet.  In a clear-eyed and easily understood manner, Jamie Metzl, a leading futurist and One Shared. World founder, explains all of this in his new book, “Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work and World.”  The challenge we face is that while our ability to engineer the world around us is advancing exponentially, our processes for understanding the scope, scale, and implications of these changes, and for managing the “godlike” powers wisely, are not keeping pace.  His thinking is bold and inspiring as he explores with us the transformative nature of human knowledge, with a particular focus on biology and the life sciences.  CRISPR babies?  Doctors performing gene therapy? Analysts storing data in genes?  What is happening here? A brave new world, indeed.  Find out on this podcast.
