Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think: Providing abundance is humanity's grandest
challenge—this is a book about how we rise to meet it. We will soon be able to meet and exceed the basic needs
of every man, woman and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. This bold, contrarian
view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing
technologies and three other powerful forces are conspiring to better the lives of billions
Our thanks to Dr. Kay Martin, Vice President of the Bioenergy Producers Association, for this recommendation: "It's a good read on the promise
of technological innovation."
