### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Should be mandatory reading for politicians, esp at budget time, so they spend our money on these ideas
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2017*

A remarkable collection of the views of thinkers; I don't know whether the book gave me hope because there are bright, educated people out there thinking, thinking, thinking, or despair because many of the ideas posited in 2009 have yet to be realised. Either way, it's worth reading and should be compulsory for all politicians, so they see what might be done, were resources appropriately directed. One small criticism, raised by my sister to whom I gave a copy of this book ... too few women commentators. A wee bit of gender balance would have been appreciated. There are many, many women working in STEM professions and they are grossly under-represented here. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, will read it again and again, and will follow some paths opened by it using the bibliography to visit websites, blogs and other books.

    Listen in on some of the most interesting intelligent discussions
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013*

This is not a normal book. It is a collection of responses to a question - in this case, "What will change everything" by many of the best thinkers of our time. The theme is the question; the answers vary from a short paragraph to a chapter by smart people talking to smart people across fields of specialty and interest. You will recognize many of the names but certainly not all, or at least I didn't. You will likely agree with some but not all.Another little bonus here is that each response stands all by itself. You don't have to follow the long development of an argument; you can drop in on the discussion when convenient for you without a time commitment. I find it worked especially well as Kindle book on my Kindle and my phone.I immediately bought another book of this series when I finished this one.

    insightful, if you've not been reading any texts on the subject previously
  

*by I***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2012*

It is not easy to pinpoint exactly what has gone wrong in this book, but it seems that it has to do with too large of a question that has been explored to death in futuristic, sci-fi, popular science literature. A similar book with a more narrow question "what scientific concept would improve everybody's cognitive toolkit?" (This Will Make You Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking)  brought out more original, rarely-heard-before content.It is not to say that the essays in the book are bad. Not at all. The problem is that almost all of them seem like nothing new. For example, here is a very perceptive and interesting idea by Nick Bostrom, but would you say you've never heard it before?"We can increase humanity's joint problem-solving capacity by creating more people or by integrating a greater fraction of the world's existing population into productive endeavors, and we can develop better tools for communication and collaboration, various Internet applications being recent examples. Each of these ways of enhancing individual and collective human intelligence holds great promise. I think they ought to be vigorously pursued. Perhaps the smartest and wisest thing the human species could do would be to work on making itself smarter and wiser. In the longer run, however, biological human brains might cease to be the predominant nexus of Earthly intelligence. Machines will have several advantages, most obviously, faster processing speed: an artificial neuron can operate a million times faster than its biological counterpart. Machine intelligences may also have superior computational architectures and learning algorithms."If you haven't, then definitely buy this book! It will be of much interest to you. If you have, then let's go on searching for new horizons
