THOMAS HOMER DIXON-The Ingenuity Gap-Are we able to solve the problems we create?

Published: July 14, 2019, 4:18 a.m.

We go deep into the archives to bring you my 2002 conversation with THOMAS HOMER DIXON on his insightful and provocative book THE INGENUITY GAP, in which he asks whether we\u2019re going to be able to generate and implement useful ideas fast enough to solve the problems we ourselves are creating. Problems like the surveillance capitalism of Facebook and Google, the jobs we\u2019re losing to robots, and the crisis of climate change. In the book and interview, he said there was still time but the hour was getting late \u2013 and that was 17 years ago.
