Ok. A little repetitive and long-winded, and the reading is blah. Also, the book is obviously written by a Brit, but is read by an American...really threw me off. Good content tho.

Looking at the future of tech is an interesting study. Some of the near term predictions are lacking at this point, but most of the ideas expressed by the authors do have merit. I enjoyed some of the essays that were included in the book. I got quite a bit of insight into things to do today in preparation for future developments and gained a perspective on how my generation's views of privacy and community will be subject to change.

Mr. King reviews and expands on several ideas that will potentially change the way we lead our lives. Some of the things that are discussed are concepts like automation, personal assistants, smart cars and smart buildings.

All of the areas are potentially life-changing and even though some may come fully to fruition it provides a mind-expanding view of what might happen.

This book is very interesting in the way that material is presented and then expanded on. There is a lot to think about and opens the mental door to other technology considerations. Highly recommended for those that are interested in the impact of technology.
