#1

The act of creation is singular, as is the moment of creation, and the result is something fresh and strange. Unless American companies invest in the difficult task of creating new things, they will fail in the future.

#2

The future should be available to everyone, not just students in Silicon Valley.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The future is the set of all moments yet to come. It’s important to note that the future will be a time when the world looks different from today. In this sense, if nothing about our society changes for the next 100 years, then the future will be over 100 years away.

#2

The future is about horizontal or extensive progress, which is easy to imagine. Vertical or intensive progress, which involves doing something no one has ever done, is harder to imagine. Without technological change, if China doubles its energy production over the next two decades, it will also double its air pollution.

#3

Modern technology has never been a constant feature of history. Our ancestors lived in static, zero-sum societies where success meant seizing things from others. They created new sources of wealth only rarely, and in the long run they could never create enough to save the average person from an extremely hard life.

#4

The easiest explanation for the success of new technology is that it comes from new ventures, which are typically startups. These are the largest groups of people you can convince of a plan to build a different future.
