THE SEVENTH SENSE Power, Fortune, and Survival in the Age of Networks

The author's easy authority about these transformative issues is as evident in his performance as it is in his prescient insights regarding how networks and machine intelligence will upend the world. The low-key seriousness in his reading works well with his arresting message: Leaders will need radical sensitivity--a seventh sense--to deal with the intelligent networks of our age, networks that are "gifted with an exactness of vision" that is far more powerful than the strategies international players currently use to gain dominance in commercial, political, and social arenas. He is utterly convincing in asserting that global conflicts in the future will not be about trade, violent extremism, or environmental threats. These conflicts will involve fighting for control of how every institution and individual is connected to the rest of the world. T.W. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2016]
