Technology is advancing faster than ever - but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technological developments from personalized genomics to self-driving cars to drones to artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future - eugenics, a jobless economy, complete loss of privacy, and an ever-worsening spiral of economic inequality. How can we make appropriate decisions about whether and how to adopt new technologies? Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever propose that we ask three questions:
- Does the technology have the potential to benefit everyone equally?
- What are the risks and the rewards?
- Does the technology more strongly promote autonomy or independence?
They subject a host of new and potential technologies to these questions, but ultimately it is up to the listener to make the final decision.

2. The book is a collection of interesting facts, but very few deep insights. It rarely connects the dots, leaving the listener to say "So what?".
NOT about driverless cars

What made the experience of listening to The Driver in the Driverless Car the most enjoyable?
Not just trends, but tying them together, and the look at them from multiple facets (ethics, relation to other trends, impact to different classes, our possible reactions, which are started now, and much more).What was one of the most memorable moments of The Driver in the Driverless Car?
For me the most memorable piece was scattered throughout... the assessment of the TRANSITION from now (when everyone is expected to have a job) to later (when many will not have the traditional form of a job). This is an inescapable and difficult time. I spent time processing some helpful thoughts from Vivek around this in particular.What about Julie Eickhoff’s performance did you like?
She was very clear and easy to understand. I could absorb the material quickly.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The future is great; The transition is unprecedented upheaval.Any additional comments?
The authors gave a lot of food for thought. We need to reassess some of our most deeply held beliefs, norms, and social expectations.Great read of emerging directions.

The overall structure of the book and its simplicity makes it easy compared that the topics covered are generally more complicated to understand by a non-technologist
Very Insightful with an easy flow

Vivek gives a great intro to all of this and more, balances his tech optimism and hopes of utopia with realism and the occasional dystopic scenario.
If you're been to Singularity University, heard Vivek's talks a number of times, and dabbled in these topics for a while this book might not be for you - but if you're just getting started, jump in head first and enjoy!
Great easily digestible intro to the future
