This is a fairly short and hard-hitting talk (followed by a brief conversation with Tom Standage / The Economist) on how technology is changing our culture, society, business and humanity in general, covering artificial intelligence and cognitive computing, quantum computing, digital ethics, technology addiction and abdication, and almost all themes from Gerd's new book 'Technology vs Humanity', see http://www.techvshuman.com/technology-vs-humanity-gerds-bottom-lines-and-key-messages/ for the key messages.

This is what the book is all about: Are you ready for the greatest changes in recent human history? Futurism meets humanism in Gerd Leonhard’s ground-breaking new work of critical observation, discussing the multiple Megashifts that will radically alter not just our society and economy but our values and our biology. Wherever you stand on the scale between technomania and nostalgia for a lost world, this is a book to challenge, provoke, warn and inspire
