Humanity's knowledge is exploding. Digitalization and biotechnology are opening new worlds. However, the intoxication of progress leads to the collapse of society. Economist and technology investor Benedikt Herles highlights the dramatic consequences of the digital revolution and genetic developments for our society in the future, urgently advocating for fundamental debates and reforms. The possibilities of robotics, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering are advancing rapidly, but we are blind to the dangers. Benedikt Herles paints an alarming picture of the future: algorithms and artificial superintelligences seize power. Social systems collapse in a machine economy. Useless masses of people fall into depression without fulfilling tasks. The upper classes optimize their genetic makeup, and states engage in a genetic arms race.
