About this audiobook
World Economic Forum founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion and field guide to his previous book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Today, technology is changing everything—how we relate to one another, the way we work, how our economies and governments function, and even what it means to be human.
One need not look hard to see how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnologies, and the Internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the fourth industrial revolution is just beginning, says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and such rapid change, he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine the trajectory our future will take.
We all have a responsibility—as citizens, businesses, and institutions—to work with the current of progress, not against it, to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous.
Drawing on contributions from 200 top experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology, to data ethics, Schwab equips listeners with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the future to leave the world better, safer, and more resilient than we found it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is partly about current and future trends and partly about Mr. Schwab's social and political vision for the future. For anybody interested in technology trends this book is important; forewarned is forearmed and this book, despite its rambling nature at times, does a good job of laying out trends.My Schwab elicits a lot of strong reactions from people, but this book should be viewed on its own - at least in regard to fundamental trends. Going through it I found a two-fold layer. 1.) Here are the trends and technologies in developments. This is followed by 2.) Here is how I, Klaus Schwab, and other like-minded individuals and groups would like to see these trends utilized; this is especially the case when talking about governmental and regulatory framework. Although I personally don't subscribe to the views of Mr. Schwab, in that I favor bottom-up approaches that preserve individual liberty, the trend is the trend and what was predicted in 2018 and codified in "Shaping the Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution" is already coming to pass in 2022. This book will be of interest to investors, business minded individuals, and those just wanting to know the mindset of Mr Schwab and the World Economic Forum.
