"Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence are expressions that have become part of our reality and everyone is talking about them while most of us know little of what they really mean.

From the first example of a possibly similar disruptive moment in history to a life with robots as caretakers and companions, Tony takes us on a journey from the past to the present, and finally to a dangerously close sci-fi future – believe me, it's a journey you should not miss."
