The Inevitable
Kevin Kelly
Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in
motion. In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing
how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence
embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both
describes these deep trends—interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing,
tracking, and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. These larger forces will
completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other.
