  “[An] excellent and wide-ranging review of our responses to accelerating technological change” from the authors of Your Happiness Was Hacked (Financial Times).   Tech experts Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever describe dozens of astonishing technological advances in this fascinating and thought-provoking book, which asks what kind of future lies ahead—Star Trek or Mad Max?   Breakthroughs such as personalized genomics, drones, self-driving vehicles, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, the same technologies raise the specter of a frightening future—eugenics, a jobless economy, a complete loss of privacy, and ever-worsening economic inequality.   Wadhwa says that we need to ask three questions about every emerging technology: Does it have the potential to benefit everyone equally? What are the risks and the rewards? And does it promote autonomy or dependence? This edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on quantum computing, which promises vastly increased processing times—and vastly increased security risks. In the end, our future is up to us; our hands may not be on the wheel, but we will decide the driverless car’s destination.  “Vivek raises one of the most important issues of our time—the use of technology to uplift rather than displace humans. His book provides an invaluable guide for assessing the benefits and risks of future technologies.” —Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft  “Exponential technologies are about to transform every aspect of our lives . . . Vivek provides you a clear and authoritative blueprint for assessing their benefits and risks.” —Peter H. Diamandis, MD, New York Times-bestselling author of Bold

  “[A] retelling of the careers and the personalities . . . who formed today’s world of high finance.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch   The 2008 financial collapse, the expansion of corporate and private wealth, the influence of money in politics—many of Wall Street’s contemporary trends can be traced back to the work of fourteen critical figures who wrote, and occasionally broke, the rules of American finance.   Edward Morris plots in absorbing detail Wall Street’s transformation from a clubby enclave of financiers to a symbol of vast economic power. His book begins with J. Pierpont Morgan, who ruled the American banking system at the turn of the twentieth century, and ends with Sandy Weill, whose collapsing Citigroup required the largest taxpayer bailout in history. In between, Wall Streeters relates the triumphs and missteps of twelve other financial visionaries. From Charles Merrill, who founded Merrill Lynch and introduced the small investor to the American stock market; to Michael Milken, the so-called junk bond king; to Jack Bogle, whose index funds redefined the mutual fund business; to Myron Scholes, who laid the groundwork for derivative securities; and to Benjamin Graham, who wrote the book on securities analysis. Anyone interested in the modern institution of American finance will devour this history of some of its most important players.

  Discover the world of cryptos with this three-in-one bundle! 
  Get a complete, 360-degree education about blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin. 
  2017 has been a year of changes in the world. Above everything, the blockchain has certainly been the main innovation that will go down in history. While it is not a new technology, it has just started to show its influence. It is clear that cryptocurrencies will become more and more popular in 2020 
  In fact, the market of cryptocurrencies has now reached over 620 billion dollar in evaluation. It is a remarkable achievement, since this industry is now bigger than McDonald's and Pepsi. If this phenomenon could be left outside the media a few years ago, now, it is impossible to deny that there is a true revolution in act. 
  This is the perfect time to get into this space, both from a trader and an investor point of view. Most of the 1,300 cryptocurrencies in existence are undervalued (some of them are overvalued, of course), and it is not sure how long things will stay that way. 
  With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introduce people to the world of blockchain and cryptos. 
  This manual goes into well-researched and newbie-friendly reflections about the most important aspects of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin, such as:What blockchain isBlockchain's futureBlockchain vs BitcoinPros and cons of blockchainBlockchain and the financial industryHow can blockchain affect other
