The purpose of today's book is twofold. First, to overthrow this myth that we are "living a period of change." The entire history of civilization is all about change—and, more than that, about technological change. This is what defines us as a species, this is what propels us forward. Change is coming faster and faster, that's for sure—and it will likely accelerate even more. And second, to highlight and explain not only the benefits but also the risks that a tech-driven lifestyle throws at us.

The future is already here. We're living in it. It's all around us—a present future—and in this book, we'll take a journey to discover just what that means.

It is a pleasure to welcome back the author of "Present Future: Business, Science, and the Deep Tech Revolution" Guy Perelmuter, welcome back to the show.
