Kevin Kelly doesn't believe in the "nerd rapture," but he does see some tech advances as inevitable

Kevin Kelly knows technology can't be stopped. Of course, artificial intelligence will wipe out or rework whole industries, and entire career paths will vanish. And if you think the world is addicted to its phones now, just wait until there's a screen everywhere, and you never really escape the grid. We will be tracked like never before. While this may sound like the recipe for a Tom Cruise dystopia sci-fi movie, it doesn't have to be. In fact, in his new book, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future, Kelly goes to great pains to make it all seem like a net positive.
