Summary

In Kevin Kelly’s book, The Inevitable, the futurist tries to nail down what the next 30 years will look like. For him, this is the short-term. By extrapolating from our technology today, he can pretty safely say what our near future will be like, without having to theorize about tech centuries in advance. This is what is so close, it’s practically destined.
“I’m saying they’re inevitable in the sense that no matter what individual entrepreneurs or even politics happen we’re going to have more tracking in our lives; we’re going to have more interaction with our computers,” explains Kelly.
