The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross (2016)

The book looks at the future of a number of industries and how technology and globalization will shape them.

It examines six industries in particular: cybersecurity, big data, robotics, the commercialization of genomics, the online economy, and the impact of the “internet of things” on everyday life.

It argues that those who understand these changes and are able to capitalize on them will be at a distinct advantage.

It stresses the importance of education, particularly in the STEM fields, in order to succeed in the future.

It discusses the need to create policies that will help ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources.

It also looks at the potential risks associated with the increasing use of technology and the need to be aware of them.

It examines the impact of automation on the workforce and the need to create policies to help those affected.
