Our constantly-in-change world is now running on 'exponential time, ' and this disruption has huge consequences. Vivek gives us the prism to make sense of it all."<br> <b><i>--John Sculley, former CEO, Apple <br> </i></b><br> "Vivek possesses the brilliance and vision to foretell the technological path that will define our future.

He also demonstrates the urgent need to establish a new system of governance to ensure that we can reap the rewards while containing the risks awaiting us."<br> <b><i>--Kofi Annan, seventh United Nations Secretary General; corecipient of the Nobel Peace Prize; and founder and Chairman, Kofi Annan Foundation<br> </i></b>
