內容簡介

實現生活富足是人類*的挑戰。《富足》一書告訴我們應該怎樣奮起迎接這個挑戰。

自從人類社會形成以來，少數特權階層的生活就與貧苦大眾的生活形成了鮮明的對照。傳統觀點認為，這種鴻溝是無法彌合的，但是事實是，它即將開始彌合，而且速度將會非常之快。

在本書中，彼得?戴曼迪斯和史蒂芬?科特勒有力地闡述了人工智能、機器人、無限計算能力、寬帶網路、數字製造、納米材料、合成生物等指數型增長的科學技術，指出這些技術將使人類在未來20年內獲得巨大的成就，這些成就將要遠遠大於以往200年所取得的。不久之後，我們就能夠滿足地球上所有人的基本需求了，而且很快就能更進一步。富足時代已經觸手可及了。

戴曼迪斯和科特勒把人類的需要分成了水、食物、住所、能源、教育、醫療和自由等幾大領域，然後介紹了幾十位創新者和行業翹楚，他們分別在各領域裏開拓創新。例如，迪恩?卡門的「彈弓」，可以把受污染的水、海水，甚至糞水淨化成飲用水，每升所需成本不到1美分。迪克森?戴斯波米亞的「垂直農場」能夠比傳統農業節省80%的土地、90%的水、100%的農藥和幾乎100%的運輸成本。

對於瀰漫於當今世界的悲觀情緒，本書堪稱一劑動人心魄的解毒靈藥。兩位作者闡述了4大力量：指數型增長的技術，「DIY」創新者、科技慈善家和崛起中的10億人，是如何「攜手」解決人類面臨的*問題的。戴曼迪斯和科特勒描繪了這4大力量令人驚歎的影響力，並在此基礎上提出了明確的變革目標，為政府、行業和企業家設定了戰略路線圖，同時還為我們提供了充分的保持樂觀心態的理由。

TheNew York Timesbestselling "manifesto for the future that is grounded in practical solutions addressing the world's most pressing concerns: overpopulation, food, water, energy, education, health care and freedom" (The Wall Street Journal).

Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing-fast.

InAbundance, space entrepreneur turned innovation pioneer Peter H. Diamandis and award-winning science writer Steven Kotler document how progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, digital manufacturing synthetic biology, and other exponentially growing technologies will enable us to make greater gains in the next two decades than we have in the previous 200 years. We will soon have the ability to meet and exceed the basic needs of every person on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp.

Breaking down human needs by category-water, food, energy, healthcare, education, freedom-Diamandis and Kotler introduce us to innovators and industry captains making tremendous strides in each area. "Not only isAbundancea riveting page-turner...but it's a book that gives us a future worth fighting for. And even more than that, it shows us our place in that fight" (The Christian Science Monitor).
