Summary

Multi-award-winning scientific futurist Dr Catherine Ball presents insights into how technology and science are providing answers to many of the challenges the world is facing today – food shortages, war and conflict, the decline in local manufacturing, health and ageing, and global warming – and asks why we are not embracing these technologies more widely。

The answer in many cases is, ‘Because we don’t know about them!’ Well, now we do。 Dr Catherine opens our eyes to the amazing, wide world of technological advancements and explores the role we all have in learning more, owning the conversations, and determining what we want technology to be。

What is the role AI can play in the resurgence of local manufacturing and creating new jobs? Can we vaccinate against cancer? How can drones save lives and assist Mother Nature in her fight to stop humans destroying our beloved planet? And how can we utilise the best modern technologies to live longer, healthier and happier lives? Written with wit, tenacity, and deeply personal experiences, Converge offers an optimistic, in-depth and fascinating investigation into the possibilities of a world where humans fully embrace technology。

This book is amazing! Dr。 Catherine Ball really knows her stuff when it comes to technology。 She has a way of making her own experiences very relatable and seems to make complex concepts easy to understand。 Converge covers a lot of topics, from drones, to crisper to lab milk。 Her take on the future of these technologies and their implications are both fascinating and thought-provoking。 I can't recommend this book enough。 This book is amazing!
