"A quintessential work of technological futurism . . . what's valuable about <i>The Inevitable</i>, from a business perspective, is less what it says about <i>how</i> to innovate, and more what it says about <i>where</i> to innovate." <b>- James Surowiecki, <i>strategy + business</i>, "Best Business Books 2017 - Innovation"</b> <p/> Anyone can claim to be a prophet, a fortune teller, or a futurist, and plenty of people do. What makes Kevin Kelly different is that he's <i>right. </i>In this book, you're swept along by his clear prose and unassailable arguments until it finally hits you: The technological, cultural, and societal changes he's foreseeing really are inevitable. It's like having a crystal ball, only without the risk of shattering. <br><b><b>--</b>David Pogue, <i>Yahoo Tech</i></b> <p/> This book offers profound insight into what happens (soon!) when intelligence flows as easily into objects as electricity. <br><b><b>--</b>Chris Anderson, author of </b><i><b>The Long Tail</b><br></i><br> "How will the future be made? Kevin Kelly argues that the sequence of events ensuing from technical innovation has its own momentum . . . and that our best strategy is to understand and embrace it. Whether you find this prospect wonderful or terrifying, you will want to read this extremely thought-provoking book."<br><b><b>--</b>Brian Eno, musician and composer <p/></b>Kevin Kelly has been predicting our technological future with uncanny prescience for years. Now he's given us a glimpse of how the next three decades will unfold with <i>The Inevitable, </i>a book jam-packed with insight, ideas, and optimism.<br><b><b>--</b>Ernest Cline, author of <i>Ready Player One</i><br></b> <p/> As exhilarating as the most outlandish science fiction novel, but based on very real trends. Kevin Kelly is the perfect tour guide for this life-changing future. <br><b><b>--</b>Mark Frauenfelder, <i>Boing Boing </i></b> <p/> Creating a fictional future is easy; Kevin Kelly makes a habit of doing the difficult by showing us where we're actually going. <i>The Inevitable</i> is an eye-opening roadmap for what lies ahead. Science fiction is on its way to becoming science fact. <br><b><b>--</b>Hugh Howey, author of </b><i><b>Wool</b><br></i><br>"Automatic must-read." <br><b>--Marc Andreessen, co-founder Andreessen Horowitz </b>
