Author: Baddeley, MichelleWe live in a time marked by the unstoppable evolution of technology, science and information. And in this moment of accelerated and accelerating change, a decade is enough time to see the world transformed many times over; the world of 2008 can seem utterly foreign from the perspective of 2018. "A Transcendent Decade" looks back on the past ten years in order to understand the complexity of our present moment. The publication brings together 22 essays written by prestigious international experts, each addressing a topic crucial to our present and our future: climate change, artificial intelligence, economics, cyber-security and geopolitics, democracy, anthropology, new media, astrophysics and cosmology, nanotechnology, biomedicine, globalization, gender theory and the cities of the future. Each contributor, surveying their specific field, seeks to understand what we have learned in the last decade and what might be in store for the future.ISBN 9788417141219.
