Crossroads (eBook)

2050. The world has changed.But for better or worse?Using up-to-the-minute scientific research and expert predictions, Dr. Hicham Naim, author, healthcare strategist, and cofounder of Health Tech Without Borders, takes us to two potential futures: one, a utopia of societal progress underpinned by universal access to holistic care and tailored preventative medicine-the other a hell of our own making.This groundbreaking new book explores both of these eventualities-and the steps required to get there-through a blend of cutting-edge, science-based predictions and immersive fiction. From radical advances in synthetic biology and nanotech to biohacking, AI, transhumanism, and even disease elimination, Crossroads presents a look at 2050 that could be more extraordinary than we ever dared to imagine.But this roadmap of future potential comes with a warning. Accelerating technologies will reshape society, our healthcare system, and ultimately, our entire existence. Crossroads considers our trajectory and choices as well as what impact these revolutions will have on how we raise our children, maintain our health, govern our nations, and care for our planet.Crossroads is more than a glimpse into the future. It's a beacon of hope and a testament to our capacity for choice in the face of unprecedented change.Which path will humanity take?
