The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future by Kevin Kelly
4.0
From cover to cover, it was an insightful read. Kevin Kelly explains the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our lives. The 12 forces he describes are: becoming, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, interacting, tracking, questioning, beginning. In each chapter, Kevin elaborates how these inevitable changes, driven by the technological trends some of which are already in motion, will play pivotal roles in our everyday lives.
It is a digital prophecy which we must try to comprehend and keep up with whet he mentions in the book. Cause this isn’t a fictional future or sci-fi novel we normally read. We all know technology can’t be stopped. It will keep on changing and a slight upgrade in a system can lead to a major revolution in tech world.
This is the third non-fiction book I like after Yuval’s 21 Lessons for 21st Century. Unlike Yuval’s in-your-face-straightforwardness tone and total bluntness in choice of words, Kevin’s writing is a breeze in the summer. Perhaps I’m more familiar with the technical terms in this book. It was a remarkable read, indeed. Kevin demonstrates how these 12 forces are intertwined to one another and how it will completely revolutionise the way we work, purchase, learn, and communicate with each other. I’d rate 4 out of 5.
