Converge

An astounding journey through the next big technology breakthroughs that have the potential to positively shape our world.

Technology and science are providing answers to many of the challenges the world is facing today. But why we are not embracing these technologies more widely? The answer in many cases is because we don't know about them.

In this thought-provoking book, multi-award-winning scientific futurist Dr Catherine Ball offers an optimistic, in-depth investigation into the possibilities of a world where humans fully embrace technology. She considers the role AI can play in the resurgence of local manufacturing; whether we'll be able to vaccinate against cancer; how drones can save lives and assist Mother Nature in her fight to stop humans destroying our beloved planet; when we will be holidaying on the moon; and how modern technology can help us to live longer, healthier and happier lives.

Converge is also a call to action that explores the role we all have in learning more, owning the conversations and determining what we want technology to be for future generations.
