The Fourth Industrial Revolution

We stand at the beginning of a revolution that will fundamentally change how we live, work, and communicate with one another. In scale, scope, and complexity, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has no equals in all of humanity’s previous experience. We are about to witness astonishing technological breakthroughs across the widest range of fields, including artificial intelligence, robotization, driverless cars, three-dimensional printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and much more. Klaus Schwab, founder and the longtime president of the World Economic Forum in Davos, wrote a guide designed to help us orient ourselves amid the changes taking place and extract maximum benefit from them. This book is for those who are interested in our shared future—and who are firmly determined to use the opportunities of revolutionary technologies to improve the world.
