Azeem Azhar (Part 1) - The Impact of Exponential Growth and Why Technology is Innate to Humanity
With my new book, Scary Smart, releasing September 30th, and Azeem&aposs new book, Exponential, releasing September 7th, I thought this would be a perfect conversation to set the context for an important discussion on the state of future. To ask it simply, will the future be better or worse?
Azeem Azhar is on a mission to explain how our lives are changing due to the exponential growth of technology. He is a serial entrepreneur and investor. He is the creator of the Exponential View, Britain&aposs leading platform for in-depth tech analysis. His weekly newsletter is read by 200,000 people from around the world, and his chart-topping podcast, The Exponential View, has featured guests including Yuval Noah Harari, Reid Hoffman, and Tony Blair. I&aposm honored to say I&aposll be appearing on the show next month, so stay tuned.
