Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Despite all of societys advances, our problems proliferate. Wars abound, environmental degradation accelerates, economies topple overnight, and pandemics such as AIDS and tuberculosis continue to spread. The Internet and other media help to disseminate knowledge, but theyve also created an infoglut and left us too little time to process it. Whats more, advances in technology have made the world so bewilderingly fastpaced and complex that fewer people are able even to grasp the problems, let alone generate solutions. That space between the problems that arise and our ability to solve them is the ingenuity gap, and as we careen towards an increasingly harried and hectic future, the gap seems only to widen.As he explores the possible consequences of this gap, Thomas HomerDixon offers an absorbing assessment of the state of the world and our ability to fix it. Culling from an astounding array of fieldsfrom economics to evolution, political science to paleontology, computers to communications he integrates his vast knowledge into an accessible and engaging argument. This is a book with profound implications for everyone that we can ill afford to ignore.
