Preparing for 2030, the roots of crises

2030_oup
On 16 September, my book 2030 will appear at Oxford University Press. The book deals with the technological causes of global crises. In it I give an overview of innovative technologies that address the social problems of the next twenty years. The book brings together the most exciting work of world-renowned experts, addressing problems as varied as infectious disease, financial instability, and climate change. 
2030 ranges across the technological landscape, presenting the latest thinking by such authorities as Craig Venter, the decoder of the human genome, and Simon Haykin, an expert on wireless communication.
Along the way, the book moves beyond the various individual technologies to highlight the unexpected connections between fields, connections that may yield new insights into such disparate events as the financial crisis, the failure of micro-electronics, and the outbreak of a flu pandemic.The book will appear in 2011 in Korean.

My book Knagende Vragen (nagging questions) in its 8th edition

Knagendevragen

[Dutch] Inmiddels is mijn boek Knagende Vragen in de achtste druk. Het is dus hard op weg een bestseller te worden. Ik bereid nu een Duitse vertaling voor. Knagende Vragen beginnen met verwondering over de gewoonste dingen in het leven. Wie heeft zich, liggend op een grasveld, niet afgevraagd waarom wolken er zo bloemkoolachtig uitzien?
