Praise for A NEW AGE OF REASON
"In our current times it can often be difficult to see a better future. This windshield wiper of a book clears away the fog and the mist, enabling leaders to see how technology will solve big, seemingly intractable problems, and improve the world for everyone."
-- George F. Colony, CEO, Forrester
"We stand at a critical tipping point in which technology now has the capacity to solve some of our most vexing problems. This is true in medicine, climate change, and other important realms. This book illustrates the 'how, ' giving today's executives the mindset and approach needed to embrace this critical clarion call."
-- Patrick Wheeler, Executive Director, Center for Digital Strategies at The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
"This book needs to be widely read, especially among college students and new professionals. Too often contemporary conversations drip with cynicism and nihilism. Weber tells a powerful story about the promise for the next wave of technology to give us the tools to address some of our most pressing problems. Doing so requires replacing fear with creativity and focusing our imagination through, what Weber calls, the Three Es of ethics, engagement, and evolution. Weber lays out a pathway that we all need to hear, embrace, and follow."
-- Adam S. Weinberg, President, Denison University
"Throughout history, new knowledge and technology have been the drivers of human progress. Today, their potential is magnitudes greater, as humanity stands in the midst of multiple great revolutions in science and technology--biotech, digital, AI, the data tsunami, autonomous systems, and nanotechnology. They are unleashing unprecedented waves of innovation at accelerating speed, holding the potential to solve some of our greatest challenges in areas such as food, water, energy, climate, and health. This book shows how these technologies are generating game-changing applications for a giant leap into a brilliant future."
-- Deborah Wince-Smith, President and CEO, Council on Competitiveness
"Purpose and profit are not opposites. No great company was ever founded, or sustained, without an authentic purpose. A New Age of Reason provides a clear path for the journey of uniting purpose and profit to forge stronger ties with customers, attract talent, and build a great brand."
-- Mark Fuller, Co-founder of the Monitor Group, now known as Monitor Deloitte
