Book Summary Overview

Kevin Kelly's The Inevitable is not a simple book to listen to. His vast ideas and dense prose could make each chapter its own book. Each of these 12 forces that are discussed are "inevitable" not in exactly how they are going to play out, but in that they will in some way over the next 30 years.

While some may view a future so completely dictated by technology as frightening or dystopian, Kelly's version is quite the opposite. Kelly predicts a broad technological future of sharing and collaboration and touches on exactly how these larger forces, as well as the smaller cogs that drive them, are going to affect our daily lives. If you've ever been curious about the future of technology, this summary takes dense, overreaching ideas and makes them simple and easily digestible!

Please note: This is a summary, analysis, and review of the book and not the original book.
