Abundance

By Peter Diamandis, Steven Kotler

Categories: Science & Math

In this 2012 book, Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize Foundation, and journalist Steven Kotler argue that technology can create a world of abundance, in which everyone has clean water, food, energy, health care and education. They identify four forces driving the change: exponential technologies, do-it-yourself innovators, technophilanthropists and the rising billion, people in poorer countries joining the global economy. The book sets targets and a road map for governments, industry and entrepreneurs.
