Paperback. We are living through a period of change unlike any in recent history. Technology no longer advances in steady, predictable steps. It compounds. Systems improve simultaneously, reinforce one another, and accelerate the pace at which societies must adapt. What once unfolded over generations now reshapes daily life within a single decade.An Exponential Age offers a clear, grounded exploration of this reality.Rather than chasing headlines or speculative predictions, this book provides a thoughtful technology forecast decade -focused not on gadgets, but on consequences. It examines how accelerating systems such as artificial intelligence, automation, advanced computing, digital infrastructure, and energy networks interact to produce lasting change across work, institutions, and society.The most important emerging technology impact rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It arises from second-order effects: how organizations restructure, how decision-making changes, how risk concentrates, and how trust evolves in a world increasingly mediated by digital systems. This book explains those patterns in plain language, offering readers context rather than hype.A central theme of An Exponential Age is that digital transformation is not a destination. The digital transformation future is an ongoing condition - one in which efficiency increases, feedback loops tighten, and systems become both more powerful and more fragile. Understanding these tradeoffs is essential for navigating the years ahead.The book also addresses the future of work with realism and restraint. Automation and intelligent systems do not simply eliminate jobs; they reshape tasks, expectations, and organizational structures unevenly over time. Some roles disappear, others evolve, and many persist longer than expected. The challenge is not predicting outcomes, but understanding the forces at work as the technology next decade unfolds.Throughout the book, complex topics are explained without jargon, drawing connections across domains to reveal the deeper future technology trends shaping the modern world. Particular attention is given to how humans experience acceleration - why change feels sudden, why institutions struggle to respond, and why exponential growth is difficult to intuit until its effects are already visible.Written for thoughtful readers who want perspective rather than prediction, An Exponential Age provides a steady framework for understanding where we are, what is changing, and why this decade matters.Change is no longer episodic. It is structural. This book helps you understand the difference. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

We are living through a period of change unlike any in recent history. Technology no longer advances in steady, predictable steps. It compounds. Systems improve simultaneously, reinforce one another, and accelerate the pace at which societies must adapt. What once unfolded over generations now reshapes daily life within a single decade.
An Exponential Age offers a clear, grounded exploration of this reality.
Rather than chasing headlines or speculative predictions, this book provides a thoughtful technology forecast decade -focused not on gadgets, but on consequences. It examines how accelerating systems such as artificial intelligence, automation, advanced computing, digital infrastructure, and energy networks interact to produce lasting change across work, institutions, and society.
The most important emerging technology impact rarely comes from a single breakthrough. It arises from second-order effects: how organizations restructure, how decision-making changes, how risk concentrates, and how trust evolves in a world increasingly mediated by digital systems. This book explains those patterns in plain language, offering readers context rather than hype.
A central theme of An Exponential Age is that digital transformation is not a destination. The digital transformation future is an ongoing condition - one in which efficiency increases, feedback loops tighten, and systems become both more powerful and more fragile.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
