WHIPLASH How to Survive Our Faster Future

Two prodigious thinkers explain how the technology and communication revolutions have upended the way we seek progress in almost every area of life. Narrator James Foster’s enthusiasm and sensitivity to every nuance make this a compelling audio. With both steadiness and phrasing verve, he holds this book together, which is not easy when so much of the book’s ideological payload is delivered deep into the authors’ long-running, information-laden narratives. Foster’s skill with this kind of deductive writing rivets attention and makes the authors’ principles and strategies even more compelling when they finally appear. In the future the next great ideas will emerge from the ambitious, ultra-connected masses, rather than being pushed onto them by elites in hierarchical bureaucracies. T.W.
