The Times and Financial Times Book of the Year

'Comprehensive but lively . . . Highly recommended!' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling

As technology accelerates, the human mind struggles to keep up - and our companies, workplaces, and democracies get left behind. This is the exponential gap.

Now, a leading technologist explains how this exponential gap is rewiring business and society. Exploring corporations and the workplace, diplomacy and big tech, Exponential makes sense of a period of dizzyingly fast change - and reveals how we should respond.

Product description

Review

Valuable and timely . . . The importance of the book lies in its diligent and comprehensive definition of a new phase in human affairs . . . An enticing and necessary read. ― Sunday Times

As a primer on our latest multi-dimensional technological revolution and how it is rewriting the rules of society, economics and politics, this book is hard to beat. -- Books of the Year ― Financial Times

The exponentially growing mismatch between the tools available to democracies and the sheer might of technology giants is one of the great challenges of our time . . . Azeem Azhar's excellent book Exponential offers some solutions. -- Amol Rajan ― BBC News

As high-tech innovation accelerates in ways that deliver huge benefits to society but also create unique challenges, Azeem Azhar delivers a comprehensive but lively take on the key issues informing what he calls the Exponential Age. It's an essential addition to the ongoing discourse about where these remarkable new technologies can take us, and where we should be aiming to go. Highly recommended! -- Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of BLITZSCALING

While many talk about the rate of innovation, too few talk about its direction. Azeem's new book helps bring that directionality to the surface through a dynamic understanding of the connections between economic, social and technological forces. Read this book if you are interested in how we can design a more inclusive and sustainable system with a re-direction of technological change at its centre. -- Mariana Mazzucato, UCL professor and author of THE VALUE OF EVERYTHING and MISSION ECONOMY

A sweeping, engaging, nuanced, and ultimately conflicted look at how recent innovations in computing and other emerging technologies have radically transformed human existence, with consequences that we can hardly fathom . . . A deft and clear-eyed treatment of complex issues such as globalisation and the future of automation . . . Perhaps Azhar's most valuable insight is that conservatively managing the individual risks posed by new technologies will not suffice. ― Financial Times

Azeem Azhar is one of the best-regarded thought leaders in the industry. But more importantly, he has a broad understanding of the exponential ways technology can be used to solve our biggest problems, shape our society, and bridge cultural divides. -- Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify

Azeem Azhar is a globally recognised voice on technology and its impact. He has written a fascinating and important book, required reading for anyone seeking to understand the new economy and the massive global corporations that seek to dominate that economy. -- Matthew Taylor, Chief Executive, Royal Society of Arts

Azhar is unapologetically bullish about the power of technology . . . He speaks powerfully about how we need to shape technology to put it back in the service of society. ― Guardian

Every generation fears technology is changing frighteningly fast. Usually it is hyperbole, the fear of the unknown. But today technological shifts are posing challenges to our security, our democracies, our way of life, our sanity. Azeem Azhar's brilliant book demystifies these exponentially fast changes and - importantly - shows how the chronic volatility can be harnessed for good. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how to reclaim a good society from the snapping jaws of looming chaos. -- Robert Peston

A powerful argument . . . Azhar's writing is informative and accessible, and his prescient ideas are only going to become more important. -- Hannah Fry, BBC Radio 4 presenter and author of HELLO WORLD

A details-rich journey from the discovery of the first transistor in 1947 to the arrival of TikTok. ― Reuters

Azhar has a knack for interrogating and inverting conventional thinking . . . A convincing case that something extraordinary is taking place in business and society. ― Economist

A celebration of the world-changing impact of computing technologies . . . Azhar meticulously and smartly makes his case. ― MIT Technology Review

We are living through a period of unprecedented technological change . . .Exponential offers a new framework for understanding the impact of technology on the economy, politics and the future. ― Forbes

Azeem hs effectively brought out increasing gap between past and future thanks to technology. A developmental mindset can act as bridge. The book makes for good reading in understanding the finer nuances and ensuring that development is all that it is supposed to be.

Accessible, Inciteful, Hopeful - A good read for everyone!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I am not the kind of person that normally reads technology reviews. However, this book itches a scratch that almost anyone in the connected world would recognise. It is the the fact that the pace of technology is outstripping our capacity to understand and regulate its use.

I work in the healthcare space and the linear rate at which humans understand and regulate new technology is incredibly frustrating. I can think of a number of people who are blockers and nay-sayers who would really benefit from reading this book. I say this for three reasons:

It is accessible. If you have accessed material from the Exponential Review, it is often quite technical in nature. The book has a wonderful accessible writing style, starting literally in the author's own home. I was pleased to see this because it won't turn off readers who are averse to jargon.

It is inciteful. What is discussed is comprehensive and fully referenced, which adds to the credibility of the argument that the author builds. This goes right through to the suggestions and solutions that are presented to us as individuals and as societies.

It is hopeful. This really matters to me. There are too many people who cite technology as if it is a harbinger of doom, and can't get over the negative aspects of technology such as social media. Even one of my childhood heroes Buzz Aldrin is famously associated with the phrase "You promised me Mars colonies, and instead, I got Facebook" in the MIT technology review in 2012. The author reassures us that it is not too late, and there are sensible, pragmatic, achievable and altruistic steps that we can take to close the exponential gap.

That's why I would recommend this as a good read for everyone!

Major change is coming and this book gives us a playbook for making sure it's good change

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I first came across the author's insights on our "exponential age" thanks to his newsletter and have been keen to read this book for a while. It's almost as if it has been years in writing. It was worth the wait. A surprisingly enjoyable read that delivers what I most hoped for: clarity to complex questions and a playbook for how to navigate the challenges coming.

The starting point is a neat walk through the major technology changes underway. A strong case is made that the pace is increasing and the upcoming impacts on society are huge. The book does a great job with digestible specifics and despite having already read a lot on the topic I left with a sharper deeper understanding of the exciting opportunities. Where the book excels though is in addressing the substantial challenges all this change creates.

Having brought those challenges into crystal focus, it would be easy for the book to end on quite a dark note. Certainly the lighter tone of earlier becomes a lot more serious. The book is compelling; a change at least as great as the industrial revolution has started and will leave nothing major untouched during my lifetime. But we don't need to be victims.

And so the book ends with a formula. A playbook on how we can take charge of the reinvented society we'll soon have. Much more will be written on the topic and no doubt we can improve on this book's formula. But to succeed as a society we need a lot of people to appreciate the issues, to care, and to have enough hope to engage when given the chance. On that, I hope, is where Exponential most succeeds.

Excellent analysis of systemic changes as a result to new technologies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Azhar does an exceptional job here in pulling together a wide breadth of examples to demonstrate why and how modern 'exponential' technologies are in the process of fundamentally changing many aspects of how we might expect to live our lives , who has power and agency in the new order, and how the more linear approaches embedded in many of our evolved systems of governance simply can't keep up.

The writing is engagingly clear which makes the concepts described fairly easy to grasp without too much being significantly dumbed down. This is no mean feat in this subject area.

Given the sheer scale of what is under discussion the cohesion of the thinking is admirable. Since it would have been an impossible challenge to go into depth on every area there are clear references to source materials and an extensive (though not exhaustive) bibliography which is very helpful though sadly not always offered these days.

Whether there is quite enough depth or ambition in the approaches he offers to managing such exponential change and guiding their potential impact towards favourable outcomes for us all is debatable, but the nature of such a book is to get us to think so I'm quite certain Azhar would be happy to be challenged in such areas. Indeed that is, I presume, most of his motivation for having written it.

An extraordinary read spanning the impact of technology on society

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 September 2021

Verified Purchase

Azhar takes the fact that society lags behind technology, naming it the 'Exponential Gap' and takes the reader on a deep exploration of its scale, nuances and impacts and how we might navigate it. The author looks at both the consequences of underestimating or ignoring the 'exponential gap' as well as the opportunities and possibilities of embracing it including, as he says, how 'we might put technology back in the service of society.'
The book is classified as 'technology, but applies to us all. As someone whose work spans JEDi (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) I found Azhar's insights (backed by meticulous research and robust analysis) useful and important. Having been up till the early hours devouring this book, I plan a thorough re-read to crystallise what I might put into action.

Highly recommended.

Insightful and practical arguments on how we manage technological change to get the society we want

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 September 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a ridiculously ambitious book, bringing together big picture themes around technology and society, and addressing that nagging feeling that the rate of innovation is outstripping our ability to manage and benefit from that change. Very few people have the breadth of understanding to pull this off, but Azeem Azhar manages this with accessibility and authority.

Refreshingly, the book goes beyond the usual handwringing about technological change to provide a more balanced and realistic view on what can be done – there are no rose-tinted glasses here, but it is a practical book, and recognises that some of our salvation has to come from technological innovation itself. An excellent read.
