by Eric Redmond

Are you ready to harness the next big tech opportunity?

The world of "deep tech" has launched seven simultaneous global artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, and quantum computing—a perfect storm that will drive the global economy for the next decade, to the tune of over $100 trillion.

Deep Tech outlines the promise (and potential perils) hidden within each of these emerging technology revolutions, all poised to explode into the mainstream market.

Whether you're a Fortune 100 executive or a hungry entrepreneur, Deep Tech will teach you to become fluent in deep tech—both its language and its possibilities—preparing you to take part in the decade's greatest opportunities.

A true vision for deep tech companies

When I learned that Eric Redmond is going to publish a book about deep tech, I was sincerely intrigued and curious. Eric and I both published books almost at the same time my book on making art with artificial intelligence came out a few weeks earlier, our books are very different, but both share passion about the future and capabilities of technology.  We both tracked our progress on LinkedIn, and I feel like almost being a fellow writer from the same book club. From Eric's experience as a technical lead and a creator, and many amazing technology projects he was involved in, Eric shares his vision on the future of technology companies. This future cannot be ignored by any   company considering a technology investment today. The power of deep technology which includes artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and cryptocurrencies, augmented reality and deep vision, needs explaining, and in this book the readers are presented with a talented, easy, unique and entertaining way to explain the subtleties of these very complex technologies.
I recommend this book for any business and technology executive.

This is a brief book about how 7 kinds of future tech are expected to be worth 50-250 trillion dollars by 2030. Each of the chapters covers such things as AI,Blockchain,Extended Reality, Autonomous Vehicles,The Internet of Things,3D Printing and the bizzare structure of Quantum Computing. About half of this tech was somewhat familar to me and I felt like 3D Printing will be the most exciting of all. As for AI it's too new for me to grasp and both the Blockchain and QC are really abstract. I listened to the audio version of this books, but Quantum Computing demands visuals to grasp it's obscure method of computaion. This is not ones and zeroes,but the spaces in between known as qubits. All of these are GPTs or general purpose technologies that will underly how the internet functions in the near future. While the book was enjoyable I didnt feel the author did a great job of helping me to understand certain types of tech. The future is both frightening and promising.

Very technical

This is not really an introductory style book. It is very technical with limited or no clear explanation. Terms were introduced, given technical definitions and immediately used to define or explain the next term. I read the book but didn’t understand most of it. It need to be rewritten, reduced, and simplified.

Each chapter covers a different aspect of upcoming technologies. There are some really strong and interesting chapters like those on IoT and 3D printing, but others seem to fall flat or cover material that the average reader of a book like this is likely to already know.

Annoyingly optimistic. The information was good, but it was written in 2020 so probably at least 20% of it is out of date by now.
also, he is assuming everyone that reads his book wants to make it big in the tech sector.

This, book by Eric Redmond, is a bit unusual.. There are a list of technologies, here, and some limited discussion; but nothing, I personally find too interesting.

Fascinating. Eric Redmond is one of those high-tech early adopters who we would all do well to follow. He provides an extremely readable explanation of seven technologies he believes are on the verge of mass adoption and disruption (he focuses on civil use, but one should also consider military use). He chooses the following seven, providing initial and likely future uses without wildly extrapolating or speculating: AI, extended reality, blockchain (distributed ledger technology), internet of things, autonomous vehicles (as a subset of autonomous systems), additive manufacturing, quantum technology. He admittedly kept his list short, but ends with a much wider set of technologies to watch in the years to come. I look forward to his next volume!
