Boldunfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today's Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from "I've got an idea" to "I run a billion-dollar company" far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two of the book focuses on the Psychology of Bold, drawing on insights from billionaire entrepreneurs Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos. In addition, Diamandis reveals his entrepreneurial secrets garnered from building fifteen companies, including such audacious ventures as Singularity University, XPRIZE, Planetary Resources, and Human Longevity, Inc. Finally, Boldcloses with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today's hyper-connected crowd like never before.

      Synthetic Biology - DNA is essentially software.

      Incidentally, recommend reading BOLD by Peter Diamanis - he's unusually good at capturing the latest trends in exponential technology > http://www.diamandis.com/bold

      After reading Peter Diamandis' write-up of Quirky in his book Bold I figured it was God's gift to inventors. Guess their strategy wasn't quite on.

      Just finished Ryk Brown's "A Show of Force" [1]. It's the 13th book in his Kindle scifi series, which I'm basically addicted to.

      Also working through "Bold" by Peter Diamandis [2]. Discussing how to leverage exponential technology over the next few decades.
