We look at this hopeful book by Larry Weber. See more about A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good here. A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good, reviewed We need as many books like this as possible. As always those wishing to take no responsibility will say that the tech is neutral, it is merely what the user choses to do with it. Trouble is, sitting on the fence can enable irreparable harm to happen. Larry Weber aims to take the reader from knowing nothing to having a deep and nuanced view of what tech for good could and probably should mean. As always the challenge is to get as many people on board as soon as possible. This book covers a wide range of sectors and possible routes to enabling a more effective tech for good future. At the same time the book is also under two hundred pages long, which does mean it can feel like a slightly whistle stop tour across the issues. This may be no harm if it is intended to reach busy C-suite executives who are aware that they need to be doing more in this respect for their own businesses and the wider planet too. The growth of B-Corps is hopefully part of a wider trend towards business not being divorced from the needs of the planet. This book is definitely worth sharing with relevant thought leaders and influencers. More about A New Age of Reason Leverage technology to propel humankind toward a better future A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good provides a roadmap for integrating emerging world-changing technologies, such as AI/robotics, chips/sensors, and quantum computing, to solve some of today's thorniest and most pressing problems like climate change and world hunger. The author offers inspiring examples of companies using technology to positively impact humanity. The book provides an actionable playbook to transform your organization around this mission, including how to develop a tech for good strategy, how to evolve the C Suite to deliver on this mission, how to market it, as well as measure outcomes. The author also discusses the latest technology breakthroughs delivering positive world outcomes, such as: Extending a surgeon's "eyes and hands" via robotics surgical systems to improve patient outcomes Computer vision tech that enables farmers to maximize crops to feed our burgeoning population AI/robotics that identify and fight wildfires Bringing together a collective of major thinkers on this subject and providing guidance for a better future, A New Age of Reason: Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good is a timely read for all executive leaders seeking to harness the new wave of technology to solve key societal problems and have a positive impact on the world.
