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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47099882438896,"sku":"2940173672186","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940173672186_p0.jpg?v=1772496063","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940173672186","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
