About this listen

TECHNOLOGY IS EVOLVING AT THE FASTEST RATE WE'VE EVER SEEN, BUT IT MAY BE THE SLOWEST RATE WE'LL EVER SEE AGAIN!

What does this mean for the future of the human race? Do we resist these changes or embrace them?

Australian biomedical engineer, inventor and visionary Dr Jordan Nguyen has lived a life of curiosity and wonder - exploring positive opportunities in science and technology, including robotics, artificial intelligence, bionics, extended reality and avatars. He believes that technology is a powerful tool that we as humans can choose to harness to create a better tomorrow.

In A Human's Guide to the Future, Dr Jordan takes us on a journey through the big innovations being developed around the world, along the fun and amazing rollercoaster of his own adventures, and to envisage where our collective future is headed.

Written by one of this generation's most exciting voices, this is a book that will deepen your understanding of new and emerging technologies and fuel your imagination at the dawn of what will be the most transformative era in human history.

I enjoyed this book enough to finish it in one and a half days.

Doctor Nguyen’s enthusiasm toward technological innovation and developing human interaction with computers and AI is demonstrated clearly through his performance reading this audio version.

I got the chance to meet Doctor Nguyen in person while delivering his Omnidesk and got to see some of the incredible projects mentioned in this book and can assure you his attitude and energy carry over into the real world and not just in his audiobook performance.

A great read for anyone interested in robots, artificial intelligence or computers and the like.

Hope your desk serves you well Jordan.

An uplifting vision of the future of humans and AI
