HBR presents.

Hi there, I'm Azim Azar, and you're listening to the Exponential View podcast.

Now, every week I come together with a brilliant mind to explore how exponential technologies

are shaping on near future.

Now, before we get on to today's podcast, I just want to share with you my exciting news,

I know I've told you about this before, but I am still really excited about it.

My first book is going to be published in September, and as listeners of the podcast,

I am sure you're going to love it, and I would love you to be amongst the first readers.

In the book, I advance the idea that we're entering into a new era, the exponential age,

and it's going to be driven by the types of radical technologies we discuss on this podcast.

But the book is more than just about technology.

It's about the transition that we are going to go through within our societies, within our economies,

within our democratic systems, and tackle each of those areas through a particular lens,

an analytic device that I think you're all going to love.

The book is published as exponential in most parts of the world,

and the exponential age in the US and Canada, you can pre-order it now.

Please go ahead and do that, just visit www.exponential-book.com.
