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?

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: How inequality, AI and climate will usher in a new world” 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.

The book includes interviews and commentary from the top thinkers in their respective fields such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Michael Enright, Paul Kruger and Ian Bremmer.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “Technosocialism is incisive, thought-provoking, and brings disparate transformative factors together to give us a set of “Lady or the Tiger?” doors to choose from—and it is up to the imaginative and attuned individuals to make the right choice for humanity’s future.” —Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times Bestselling Co-Author of Dune: House Atreides

★★★★★ “Provides a one-stop shop that identifies key issues, and the facts, impacting our planet and society, but more importantly a pathway to improvement. This book should be a reference point in every school, university, and home!” —Rachel Grimes, Past President, International Federation of Accountants (IFAC)

★★★★★ “The dynamic duo of King and Petty brilliantly provides vision and tactics in an era of great uncertainty to achieve greater parity for all in the world of technology, and an understanding of the impact that this will have on the sustainability of our future economy.” —Tommye Barie, Past Chair of the American Institute of CPAs and EVP of Leadership Development at Succession Institute, LLC

★★★★★ “In The Rise of Technosocialism Brett King and Richard Petty masterfully lay out the extraordinary perils of blindly continuing our current economic system, and the massive opportunity we have to create a better future for humanity by transforming our social and economic structures. This book is required reading for anyone who cares about our common future.” —Ross Dawson, Futurist and Bestselling Author of Living Networks

★★★★★ “In their new book Brett King and Richard Petty ask a dangerous question: what kind of world do we want to live in? In presenting four scenarios that range from the mildly unsettling to the downright dystopian, they make the case that even in a time of accelerating technologies, there is nothing certain about the future we end up in. The Rise of Technosocialism is exactly the book we all need to read today–if for no other reason than to know how to build a better tomorrow.” —Mike Walsh, Author of The Algorithmic Leader: How to be smart when machines are smarter than you

★★★★★ “If you think work, life, and world economies can continue without intervention, you’re not alone. But the reality is that nothing is permanent. Everything is either disrupted by outside factors or improved from within. King and Petty help us understand the role we play in the latter.” —Brian Solis, Digital Anthropologist, Futurist, Bestselling Author
