Fast Forward: The Technologies and Companies Shaping Our Future

by Jim Mellon (Editor), Al Chalabi (Editor)

Jim Mellon & Al Chalabi's explosive new book 'Fast Forward'. As the pace of technological progress intensifies, agile businesses and entrepreneurs are discovering new applications that take advantage of faster and cheaper computer processing power. The status quo is being upended across all industries, and in some cases totally new industries are being created. Fast Forward is a book that filters this chaotic landscape and identifies the areas that will have the greatest impact to our lives, highlighting investment opportunities along the way. These disruptive technologies span the fields of robotics, transportation, the changing internet, life sciences, 3D printing and energy, all of which are experiencing tremendous growth. With their previous books published over the past 9 years, Mellon and Chalabi have established an excellent track record of recognizing investment opportunities before they become mainstream, starting with forecasting the Great Recession in 2005, and identifying gold as an excellent hedge. More recently, they have written about life sciences, and their recommended stocks in "Cracking the Code" have outperformed every major market in the world.

[Martin Yau · Rating 5 out of 5]

Provides an comprehensive overview of the technological developments currently taking place over the long term and the ways investors can take advantage of these to potentially earn excellent returns from investing in these sectors. Independent financial advice and due diligence is required though.

[Fabrizio Poli · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book about the technologies of the future that are currently being developed. Jim Mellon & Al Chalabi perform a detailed analysis on these technologies, the people & companies behind them and why they are a good investment.

I found this book very useful into reading what the next 5-10 years is going to look like and where to invest your money for great returns.

I'm familiar with the author of this book & IMO it is probably the closest you can get to a crystal ball.

This should be compulsory reading for school kids in their last few years of school.
