Highly recommended!' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are entering the Exponential Age. Between faster computers, better software and bigger data, ours is the first era in human history in which technology is constantly accelerating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAzeem Azhar - writer, technologist, and creator of the acclaimed Exponential View newsletter - understands this shift better than anyone. Technology, he argues, is developing at an increasing, exponential rate. But human society - from our businesses to our political institutions - can only ever adapt at a slower, incremental pace. The result is an 'exponential gap', between the power of new technology and our ability to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Exponential, Azhar shows how this exponential gap can explain our society's most pressing problems - from established businesses' difficulty keeping up with digital platforms, to the sclerotic response of liberal democracies to fast-moving social problems. And he draws on cutting-edge social science to explain how to stop the exponential gap eroding our economies, our politics and our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExponential technology is upending our society.
