What is the impact of COVID-19 on world economies? If the cost of
providing universal health care is lower than the cost of building a
political movement to prevent it, would politicians still view it as
socialism? In a world where algorithms and robots take the jobs of
immigrants and citizens alike, are border controls an effective
response? If unemployment skyrockets due to automation, would
conservative governments rather battle long-term social unrest, or could
they agree on something like universal basic income? When renewable
energy sources are a fraction of the cost of coal generated electricity,
should lobbyists be able to prevent changes to energy infrastructure?
When the crowd's mood is measured in influence and exabytes, will
real-time democracy render elections a thing of the past?
International Bestselling authors Brett King and Dr. Richard Petty
explore the seismic social changes that will be thrust on the world over
the coming decades. The Rise of Technosocialism seeks to answer how
our children will live with AI and climate disruption, the impact of
COVID-19 in our lives along with which economies will likely emerge
victorious in an always-on, smart world.
