throw everything at you book
Predicting the future is always difficult and predicting a future that is being currently written everyday and may even be obsolete while we read the book is definitely difficult. However in books like this, a dose of realism is always needed. This book missed that dose of realism.. Tom seems to suggest that everything that is being researched today will stick and everything will change our lives - never true… like everything else, of all the innovations some will change our lives while everything else will be eventually inconsequential…. Tom seems to have missed that fact.. interesting collation of all that is happening today but I didn’t learn much
