Make, Think, Imagine : The Future of Civilisation
Today's unprecedented pace of change leaves many people wondering what new technologies are doing to our lives. Are robots going to take our jobs? Has social media robbed us of our privacy and fed us with false information?
And has our demand for energy driven the Earth's climate to the edge of catastrophe?John Browne argues that we need not and must not put the brakes on technological advance. Will better healthcare lead to an ageing population that cannot be cared for? Civilisation is founded on engineering innovation; all progress stems from the human urge to make things and to shape the world around us, resulting in greater freedom, health and wealth for all.
Drawing on history, his own experiences and conversations with many of today's great innovators, he uncovers the basis for all progress and its consequences, both good and bad. He argues compellingly that the same spark that triggers each innovation can be used to counter its negative consequences. Make, Think, Imagine provides an eloquent blueprint for how we can keep moving towards a brighter future.
