Reclaiming the Revolution

Extraordinary Adventures in Politics and Leadership at the Inflection Point of Industry 4.0

We are on the inflection point of a technological revolution that will change our economy, society and politics. That brings new possibilities and a rare opportunity to reappraise existing debates around how we organise our economy, how we make political decisions and how our leaders behave. While there is an understandable focus on the technology in existing debates, this book makes the case that the most important determinant of the future is human values and uniquely human skills of creativity, innovation, adaptability and collaboration. These implications need to be appreciated now for us to take full advantage of what this revolution can offer and reclaim it to reflect our own values.

Told through a series of interconnected stories and cutting across disciplines, "Reclaiming the Revolution" is an enthusiastic and provocative book about the Fourth Industrial Revolution and our disruptive political age.
