Summary

Invisible Shields explores the fascinating possibility of force field technology, examining its potential to revolutionize defense, space exploration, and infrastructure protection. While true science fiction-style force fields remain a distant prospect, the book highlights advancements in related technologies, such as plasma shields for spacecraft and electromagnetic shields for military vehicles, that offer similar protective capabilities. These active protection systems leverage principles of electromagnetism, plasma physics, and advanced materials science, like metamaterials, to deflect radiation, disrupt projectiles, and even mitigate natural disasters. The book delves into the theoretical physics underpinning these technologies, the engineering challenges involved, and their potential applications. It begins by establishing the scientific groundwork, then progresses to current research in directed-energy weapons and active protection systems. One intriguing fact is the potential for plasma shields to protect spacecraft from space debris, a growing threat to space missions. Another is the development of electromagnetic shields capable of disrupting incoming projectiles. Invisible Shields differentiates between science fiction fantasies and scientifically plausible advancements, offering a balanced perspective on this futuristic technology. It presents information in a clear and accessible style, drawing on published research, experimental data, and expert interviews to provide a comprehensive overview of the science, technology, and ethical implications of force field development.

    For years, executive Martin Fiore has been advising leaders from a wide range of industries about technological trends that are reshaping the world of business, from artificial intelligence and the rise of autonomous systems to human/machine convergence. Now, in Humanity Reimagined, Fiore explores how these trends are disrupting industries, changing the world of work, transforming the economy, and creating both threats and opportunities for leaders at all levels, from entrepreneurs nurturing start-up businesses to C-suite leaders at the world’s biggest corporations.  
    Fiore’s main focus is on what we can do to ensure that the forces of change now sweeping the planet will protect and enhance the most cherished qualities of human life rather than undermining them.

    Experts agree on the value of genetic testing when there is a family history of disease, or if the patient has an illness frequently caused by a mutation. Knowing the disease mutation lets family members find out if they have it too and need preventive care. The book explains that doctors can order tests with genetic counseling at relatively low cost and how this will help them prescribe preventive actions, make earlier diagnoses, and get better outcomes. The book's genetic discussions also delve into the implications of broad-based genetic screening without a family history. Policymakers are considering the benefits and drawbacks of this approach and I present both sides of this debate. 
     
     
     
    While working on this book I uncovered a family secret hidden for over one hundred years. Family lore had it that a heavy dressmaker's mirror fell on and killed my uncle when he was four. But the death certificate told a different story—his true cause of death was heart failure. My grandparents fabricated the accident to protect their surviving children's marriage prospects. Long before the discovery of DNA, my grandparents intuited and feared James Watson's message, "We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in large measure, our fate is in our genes." The book suggests genetic testing and associated medical intervention can change our fates.
