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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWadhwa 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Vivek raises one of the most important issues of our time--the use of technology to uplift rather than displace humans.
