b'We\\u2019re living in a time in which the landscape is changing quickly. Thanks to technology, steady jobs that provided a living for our fathers and grandfathers no longer exist and jobs that didn\\u2019t exist ten years ago are now providing paychecks for hundreds of thousands of people. Even the way we consume has changed in the past ten years thanks to streaming digital services and rental services like Uber and Airbnb.\\nBut where are these technological trends taking us? How will they shape the future 10, 20, and even 30 years down the road?\\nWell, my guest today has written a book where he lays out his idea of what the future looks like. His name is Kevin Kelly. He\\u2019s the founding executive editor of Wired Magazine, and a former editor of Whole Earth Catalog, and he has spent his career thinking and writing about how technology, particularly the web, intersects with culture, business, and politics. In his latest book, The Inevitable, Kevin takes a look at 12 technological forces that are shaping our future and provides a glimpse of what that future might look like.\\nToday on the show Kevin and I discuss the process he uses in making predictions about the future, the misconceptions he thinks people have about artificial intelligence, why people will likely own less stuff in the future, and the business opportunities that will emerge as time marches on. We also discuss the technological trends that worry Kevin the most.\\nIf you\\u2019re looking for a roadmap to navigating the brave new world we\\u2019re entering, then you don\\u2019t want to miss this podcast.'
