The future won’t be built in silos. It will be engineered at the intersections.
From artificial intelligence and quantum computing to blockchain, space systems, and next-generation energy, the technologies reshaping our world are no longer advancing in they are converging. Their interactions are multiplying opportunities, compounding risks, and rewriting the rules for competitiveness, governance, and inclusion.
In The Future Built on Systems, airline pilot, strategist, and award-winning MBA James William Boyce draws on insights from the cockpit, the boardroom, and the policy arena to map this new terrain. Written for leaders, innovators, and policymakers, this book offers a clear framework for understanding technological convergence and turning it into a strategic advantage.
Through vivid examples, from AI-optimised energy grids and quantum-enhanced climate models to tokenised finance and satellite-driven inclusion, Boyce shows how
Recognise the signals of convergence before they hit the mainstream
Design systems that are adaptive, ethical, and resilient
Harness innovation without amplifying inequality
Build governance that can keep pace with accelerating change
Convergence is more than a technology book; it’s a blueprint for navigating the intertwined future of business, society, and the planet. Whether you’re an executive, investor, policymaker, or entrepreneur, it will equip you to anticipate disruption, shape emerging systems, and help design an operating system for a world where everything connects.
