While the human world doesn’t always make the best decisions for itself, and while we can easily overlook the forest for the trees where technology is concerned, we still learn, we still adapt, and we still work together to make things right. History has shown this much: we’re fallible but we’re also unfailingly ambitious. Despite our mistakes — even the biggest ones — we continue to fight for a higher quality of life. We believe this innate conviction within us will

allow us to always self-correct. That’s a fancy way of saying we will find the right solutions for the problems we create. This book hinges on the power of that truth. But we need to get busy applying it. Because if we’re not wise about how we proceed in this season of our partnership with technology, it is more likely than most realize that our ambitions — what is possible for us — will be scaled back to a level we’ve never experienced before.

As interconnected and interdependent as we are on technology, a series of wrong decisions, wrong adoptions, wrong consumptions over the next couple of years could lead to a decades-long regression in which human ingenuity is supplanted and human sensibilities are replaced by technology. We don’t know how we would handle this because we’ve never been threatened on this sort of scale before. What will we do if we cannot be who we are? In the end, the question of the day isn’t as much, “Will we survive?” as it is, “Will we still thrive?” The answer is still, collectively, up to us.

From here out, it’s best to consider this a book of conversations — the most important conversations in which we-the-world should be engaged as we aim to use the power of technology to script the best future possible. This book is not meant to be a book of solutions.

How can it be when so much of what is needed requires collaboration and adoption on a grand scale? We are merely two informed authors who aim to jumpstart the innovation, collaboration, and adoption necessary to produce the solutions we ultimately (and, in some cases, desperately) need.
