The Great Progression

di Peter Leyden (Autore)

Harper, 2027

A leading technology expert presents your guide to the next 25 years with a sweeping grand narrative about America’s current reinvention—one that makes the most of artificial intelligence and other transformative technologies and builds a world of abundance that works better for all. The majority of Americans and others in the world are looking for a new way forward that can solve the many challenges of our time. This timely book lays out how we can harness AI and other transformative technologies like clean energy and bioengineering to drive a vast economic boom and great progress over the next 25 years. Peter Leyden argues that America already is in the early stages of a reinvention that the country has gone through three times before in an uncanny pattern of every 80 years—in the founding around 1785, coming out of the Civil War in 1865, after World War II in 1945, and now starting in 2025. The book makes a compelling case that early innovators already have laid the groundwork for quickly bringing together a new tech-positive majority that always forms in these reinventions and then cracks the new models about how the economy and society can work better for everyone in the next era. This inspiring book is a positive reframe of the extraordinary moment we’re all living through, providing clear answers to the critical questions of our time: what’s really going on today, what’s probably coming, what’s possible to achieve, and what we all should do. Topics include: AI and the Future Economy: Discover how artificial intelligence and other emerging tech will significantly boost productivity, drive historically high economic growth, and bring surprising prosperity for many if not all. Reinvention of Old Systems: Learn why the breakdown and dismantling of old systems and institutions are the beginning stages of a healthy process of reinvention of new systems better aligned with future needs. Deep Historical Context: See what’s going on in America today as part of a pattern of progress comparable to the civilization-scale changes of The Enlightenment and early Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century—ones that we may supersede in our time too. Builds on the Abundance Movement: Understand how those who embrace abundance in both political and tech circles are aligning and could quickly transform American politics and go global over time. Your Guide to the Next 25 years: This sweeping big-picture narrative ties together disparate developments in many fields and regions of the world to give a first draft future history of America and the world.
