Find out where our world is headed with this dazzling first-hand
account of inventing the future from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of What Should I Do With My Life? and the founder
of science accelerator IndieBio.
Decoding the World is a buddy adventure about the quest to live
meaningfully in a world with such uncertainty. It starts with Po Bronson
coming to IndieBio.
Arvind Gupta created IndieBio as a laboratory for early biotech startups
trying to solve major world problems. Glaciers melting. Dying bees.
Infertility. Cancer. Ocean plastic. Pandemics.
Arvind is the fearless one, a radical experimentalist. Po is the
studious detective, patiently synthesizing clues others have missed.
Their styles mix and create a quadratic speedup of creativity. Yin and
Yang crystallized.
As they travel around the world, finding scientists to join their cause,
the authors bring their firsthand experience to the great mysteries that
haunt our future. Natural resource depletion. Job-taking robots. China's
global influence.
Arvind feels he needs to leave IndieBio to help startups do more than
just get started. But as his departure draws near, he struggles to leave
the sanctum he created. While Po has to prove he can keep the "indie" in
IndieBio after Arvind is gone.
After looking through their lens, you'll never see the world the same.
