The Industries of the Future

Ross was advisor for Innovation for Clinton while she was Secretary of State. He does a tour through today's hottest topics of innovation (genomics, big data, robotics, cryptocurrencies, etc) and focuses in on their economical and geopolitical impact. He projects a future in which economies are driven based on if the countries adopt an “open” or “closed” strategy to data (in contrast to the capitalism/communism dichotomy from before).

I definitely took advantage of the audiobook-feature of not always having to pay attention too closely, but all in all this was a good listen. I especially enjoyed his first-hand insights on different economies and case studies from across the globe.
