In this book, Mark Mills challenges the conventional wisdom about how technology will shape our future, offering a new, optimistic vision of what’s really coming. Rather than stagnation or job destruction, Mills argues that technological convergence will help drive a new economic boom in the 2020s, which historians will look back on as the “Roaring 2020s”.

This convergence will not come from a single invention, but from the confluence of radical advances in three key technology domains: microprocessors, materials, and machines, all powered by the Cloud infrastructure, which is based on next-generation microprocessors and artificial intelligence. Mills argues that we have seen this pattern before, as the technological revolution that drove the great economic expansion of the twentieth century was also a convergence of advances in these three core spheres.

The Cloud amplifies our ability to make new discoveries and create things, and Mills argues that the combination of this infrastructure with advances in these three areas of technology will usher in a new era of economic growth.
