A devastating analysis of the direction we are headed and a powerful prescription for change — from the Pulitzer Prize-nominated author of The Wired Society.James Martin, one of the world’s most widely respected authorities on the impact of technology on society, argues that we are living at a turning point in human history. “We are travelling at breakneck speed into an era of extremes — extremes of wealth and poverty, extremes in technology, extremes in globalization. If we are to survive, we must learn how to manage them all.” In researching this volume, the author interviewed forty world experts in fields as diverse as information technology, medical ethics, climate change, and the economics of poverty. Martin contends that although we face huge challenges and conflicts, it is in the scientific breakthroughs of the new century that we will find new hope. In clear, penetrating and insightful prose, he addresses the key questions of our age and proposes an interconnected set of solutions to these problems.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Meaning of the 21st Century: A Vital Blueprint For Ensuring Our Future

MARTIN, James

History

A devastating analysis of where our world is headed, and a powerful prescription for change — from the Pulitzer Prize-nominated author of The Wired Society.Martin identifies and explains the ten key challenges for humanity in the 21st Century:-Heal the planet-Eliminate war between high-tech nations-End terrorism-Detect and prevent the spread of infectious diseases-End extreme poverty-Realize the learning potential in all-Manage computer intelligence-Refine our use of increased leisure time-Control the long-term impacts of all innovation-Enhance the human body through technologyIf the 20th Century was all about “progress,” the 21st Century must be about transition, about reconsidering whether all progress, at the same rate and in the same direction, isn’t in fact a charge towards our own extinction. Informed by interviews with experts worldwide, this book is set to have as great an impact on society as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring did, forty years ago.
