From the Back Cover
"Science is on the edge of radically changing the way we live and the experiences we have day to day. So often the views of that future are bleak, but The AUGMENTED AGE is an optimistic view of that future and the challenges we'll face. The possibilities are limitless..."- Tory Belleci, Host of Mythbusters, Punkin Chunkin and Thrill Factor"Having watched many innovations occur over the last few decades, it has always confused me as to why so many resist change. The world Brett and Alex describe in Augmented is one where the most significant changes in our lifetime are just around the corner. The Augmented Age is tremendously exciting."Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari and author of Finding the Next Steve Jobs"We are in the midst of a huge wave of technological change. Augmented Reality. Self-driving cars. Human-like robots. Additive manufacturing and much more are bringing deep cultural change and exposing long-fed fears of a dystopian future. Brett King not just properly catalogs all of these, but tells us what it all means: that we soon will be AUGMENTED. His look at what's happening will be my bible for a long time."-- Robert Scoble, Bestselling Author of Age of Context and Beyond Mobile"Welcome to the AUGMENTED AGE. Super powers. Super cities. Super vehicles. Super robots. Technology is about to change everything in your life. Whether you're scared, excited, or both, you need to read this awesome roadmap of the future that Brett King has created. Those who can anticipate the future can thrive in it."-  Ramez Naam, Author of Nexus"A whirlwind of AI and IA (augmented organic minds), robots, Bitcoin, smart materials, you name it! The Brett and Alex data-mine deep history -- and then stretch far forward, presenting a stunning synthesis that is at once richly detailed, amazing and even slightly troubling -- but never boring. Future shock just got a side of awe. Highly recommended!"- Mark Jeffrey, Author of 'The Case For Bitcoin' and Founder, Guardian Circle

An excellent book covering all aspects of the way things are moving forward. As expected Brett with his rich experience and that of his colleagues presented how we and every aspect our lives will be augmented in future, which in turn shows what we should be ready for. As with his earlier books these predictions are bound to come true. Some of them have already started. What is fascinating is, the changes as described by Brett King and his co-authors, are happening at a rapid pace right now and are clearly visible.Some of the interesting observations are the advent of embedded and personal technology augmenting daily life and behavior, the augmented man supported by Augmented Reality, Personal Head Up Display and preponderance of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.The topics are built up gradually ending up with clear predictions for the future with an optimistic note welcoming the smart world of the future.The authors cover important areas like Transportation and conveyance, Banking Finance, Health care, Education, Smart cities etc., where technological innovations will radically change the way we experience these in the augmented age. They have presented in-depth description of how things will be totally different from the present in these areas. The reader would get an idea of how one should be prepared for such changes and be ready for adoption as these changes occur. After reading the book, as a banking professional I liked the way technology disruptions are going to happen in banks. As a customer I know what I should be prepared for. As an individual and a family member taking care of health I should gear up for the changes. As a consumer and as a resident of a major city observing transformation I am keen to be a part of the transformation. Who should read this book; in my view, everyone, whether in business, profession, ordinary citizen, students, young old, because the future is happening now and it is better to be prepared for the transformation; derive maximum benefit out of the technology which is making it possible and enjoy the life in the smart lane as the authors put it.
I've been following Brett King's work in the fintech (financial technology) space for some years now—most recently his 'Breaking Banks' book and podcast series. 'Augmented', with the able assistance of contributors Andy Lark, Alex Lightman and JP Rangaswami, takes Brett's exploration of technology evolution and its social impact into much broader territory than before—people's daily lives. It's all about how technology is adding to—and integrating with—our natural physical and mental abilities, transforming us into what in many ways (from a historical perspective) are superhumans. The book earns him a place as one of the pre-eminent futurists of recent years—alongside the likes of Peter Diamandis, Ray Kurzweil, Kevin Kelly, David Houle, Tom Friedman, John Naisbitt, Nicholas Negraponte, and the late Alvin Toffler.Reading 'Augmented' left me excited, optimistic, and at the same time unnerved at the tsunami of change that's about to slam into us, born of ever more rapidly advancing and converging IT, communications, artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, biotech, healthtech, nanotech, and of course fintech (the subject of a chapter in the book, but not front and center this time). More than anything, 'Augmented' left me with a sense of urgency to get ready for what's coming.This may come across as hyperbole, but it's not. These technologies in combination are going to radically change the way we live and work, and in short order. The changes are already here in multiple walks of life—we see them in the advent of self-driving cars, e-commerce, smart cities, and the sharing economy, to cite just a few examples. And we see them reflected in the neo Luddites, protectionists and nationalists who want to drag us back to the "good old days" (and somehow think that's possible). But the picture today is only a hint of what's to come. Crucially, hundreds of millions, or perhaps billions, of jobs all over the world—and not just the low-level ones—are either going away to be replaced by automation, or the skills required to do them will change beyond recognition.That means we're in for some social upheaval as reality confronts those who, for whatever reason, haven't stepped up to the changes. And of course there will be many like that. Where it all nets out is impossible to predict. But if you think the global political and economic situation in 2017 is disorderly (and you look at the roots of why that's the case), I can't see any scenario where it doesn't get significantly more disorderly for some years or even decades to come until the world finally settles into the Augmented Age—which it will, the way it eventually settled into the Industrial Age and the Information Age after it after their turbulent births.Those who do prepare, though, will be the ones who are positioned to survive and thrive in the Augmented Age. They'll be the ones who embrace change, continual learning and self improvement, and creativity over linear thinking. That's why 'Augmented' is a must-read: it's a first step to understanding and preparing for the near future. Brett's writing style is conversational and highly readable, so you don't need to be a technology geek, or even a futurism geek to appreciate this book. He also puts developments into a historical context, which makes them easier to understand. Although Brett's enthusiasm for the topic is impossible to conceal, he does a good job of avoiding hype and business buzzwords. I don't agree with everything Brett writes here, but I agree with most of it.Get this book. Read it, digest it. Surf the tsunami and don't get washed over by it.And Brett, how about an 'Augmented' podcast?
