A Forthcoming Book by Jesse Ebbett
Coming SoonTechnology is changing how we work, how we make decisions, and how we imagine the future. But the most important question may not be what technology can do. It may be what we decide to do with it.
About the Book
Throughout history, new tools have changed the way people work, communicate, and organize their lives. Their influence has extended far beyond the immediate problems they were designed to solve.
Today, artificial intelligence, automation, and increasingly capable digital systems are creating a new wave of disruption. They are reshaping industries, challenging familiar assumptions, and raising difficult questions about the future of work, opportunity, and human decision-making.
The Evolution of Technology examines how these changes happen, what forces guide them, and how the choices made today may influence the world that follows.
The future is not simply a destination we arrive at. It is something we create through the decisions we make along the way. A Central Theme of The Evolution of Technology
