I am so enjoying this book. Also downloaded the podcast from WEF and am finding it engrossing. Also very good material for a "Future of business" academic course I'm preparing for July. Clearly deinfes which direction we need to be looking in for future developments and ethical questions.

Really engrossing first part. Combined reading with Homo Deus, which was an interesting combination. Second part was OK, but a lot less in depth. Maybe the first part was overloaded with detail, and this left the second part feeling rather lightweight in comparison. Raced through the beginning, but the enthusiasm kinda trickled out.

Great read, and thought provoking. Found some of the pints debatable, and would be great to have further conversations on them. Definitely a must to read this one to have clear ideas on the possibilities of our current evolution. Combined reading this one with Seveneves, which was an interesting combination. Reading Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution now, and interested to see similar ethical questions arise.

Tough following the train of thought. After hearing him speak at a company event I thought this book could be key in an academic course I'm preparing for September.. disappointed to say that I'm not convinced now. I've had to abandon for the time being as it's hard to understand the structure. Hope to restart with a fresh mindset soon.
