Human progress can feel invisible because it often moves at a slow crawl compared to the speed of our fears. To appreciate abundance, we first need historical perspective. Throughout history, our species has battled scarcity—scarcity of resources, of knowledge, of safety. Yet time and again, innovat...

From Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think

At the heart of abundance lies exponential growth—the phenomenon that explains how computing, robotics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence are not merely improving but accelerating at an accelerating rate. Most people intuitively think in linear terms: one step forward, another step forward....

From Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World

In the earlier parts of *The Future Is Faster Than You Think*, we introduce a key phenomenon that underpins everything else: convergence. It’s not just that technologies are accelerating individually; it’s that they’re colliding and combining in ways that multiply their effects. Moore’s Law once exp...

Transportation is the industry where most people feel convergence firsthand. When you step into a Tesla, you’re sitting inside an AI on wheels. The car isn’t just a machine; it’s a self-learning computer designed to improve with every mile. Yet driving autonomy is only one piece of a far larger mobi...
