"[This book] unabashedly tackles some truly big subjects. To explain why the Industrial Age is ending and what is coming next, I will examine such matters as the nature of technology and what it means to be human. It might seem a wildly ambitious thesis, but I argue that we are facing a tansition as profound as the one which took humanity from the Agrarian Age to the Industrial Age, so nothing less than 'wildly ambitious' will do. The current transition has been made possible by the advent of digital technology and how it differs from what preceded it. It is also essential that we take a closer look at the philosophical foundations of what we want to accomplish--after all, we have the opportunity to decide what will follow the Industrial Age. In [this book], I argue that we are now entering the Knowledge Age, and that to get there we must focus on the allocation of attention rather than capital."Shelving
