Description

Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, two leading global thinkers in technology and foreign affairs, present a transformational vision of a world where everyone is connected—a world of challenges and opportunities to be met and harnessed. Schmidt, a longtime leader at Google, helped build the company into one of the world's most influential firms. Cohen, director of Google Ideas and a former adviser to Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton, has helped shape how the U.S. government thinks about technology. They have traveled the world—from the hotspots of the Middle East and Africa to more stable regions of Europe and Asia—meeting with world leaders, entrepreneurs, and activists to learn firsthand about the issues they face. Together, they explore tough questions: Who will be more powerful in the future—the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or harder to carry out? What is the relationship between privacy and security, and how much will we have to sacrifice to participate in the new digital age? How will war, diplomacy, and revolution change when everyone is connected, and how can we tilt the balance in a beneficial direction? When broken societies are rebuilt, what role will technology play? This book combines observations about the physical and digital worlds to outline the promise and peril awaiting the coming decades. Pragmatic, inspirational, and forward-looking, The New Digital Age offers a sweeping account of where our world is headed and what that means for people, states, nations, and businesses.
