Survive and thrive in a world being taken over by robots and other advanced technology.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms, blockchains, the Internet of Things, big data analytics, 5G networks, self-driving cars, robotics, 3D printing. In the coming years, these technologies, and others to follow, will have a profound and dramatically disruptive impact on how we work and live. Whether we like it or not, we need to develop a good working relationship with these technologies. We need to know how to “dance” with robots.
In Dancing with Robots , futurist, entrepreneur, and innovation coach Bill Bishop describes 29 strategies for success in the New Economy. These new strategies represent a bold, exciting, unexpected, and radically different road map for future success.
Bishop also explains how our Five Human Superpowers ― embodied pattern recognition, unbridled curiosity, purpose-driven ideation, ethical framing, and metaphoric communication ― give us a competitive edge over robots and other advanced technology in a world being taken over by automation and AI.
If you are looking for a techie book fully focused on technology and description of its advancements, this one is not the book you are looking for. If you are interested about philosophical aspects of futuristic thinking on what is going to happen when Artificial intelligence and robots will drive our lives and business, this book is still a different one. This book is a bit of everything: futuristic thoughts on what the future has for us when technology will advance, accompanied by some interesting stories from author's life; thinking and reflecting on big corporations who dominate the market and how they got there and much more. The most value you will find in the strategies presented in the book because they shape the path on how to deal with technology advancements.
The book provides interesting insights and philosophies in dealing with automation and robotics. However, they book is a compilation of individual observations written in individual essays that are loosely if at all connected. The lack of a red-line connecting the stories make it hard at the end to remember the essence of the book. While the content is great, the weaving pattern of the book diminishes the value of the content.
