Reviews
Scherman’s debut finds him challenging conventional thinking while calling for business leaders to embrace innovation in a time of upheaval. Forecasting revolutionary change in “society, the global economy, and even your day-to-day life” by 2030, Infinite Futures explores a near-future shaped by technologies like artificial intelligence, transforming healthcare, transportation, finance, relationships, and more. Scherman introduces the major shifts he sees coming—such as steeply reduced energy costs, a reduction of “traditional jobs,” and blockchain leading to “decentralized trust systems across finance, governance, and beyond”—and offers practical guidance for navigating the tumult ahead with detailed insights and advice. “Data will be the most valuable resource,” Scherman argues, offering both a warning and a roadmap for those looking to stay ahead in an era defined by innovation and disruption. “Embrace the shift,” Scherman writes, “and it won’t feel like the end of something but the beginning of an incredible transformation.” Whether or not his forecasts prove accurate, Scherman, drawing on over 30 years of experience as a chief strategy officer, proves a rousing guide to both the specific possibilities he lays out about platform economies and the role of AI in infrastructure management, but also more general lessons and strategies for navigating change, emphasizing principles like embracing “lifelong learning to stay ahead in a fast-changing environment.” Scherman evinces a striking ability to clarify complex topics, and even intricate ideas (like a heady exploration of AI’s potential impact on social interactions) are presented in a way that resonates. How will the rise of artificial intelligence reshape production, industries, the energy sector, and even love? Scherman offers a clear-eyed, step-by-step tour of the likely consequences and risks while also highlighting the immense potential of this unstoppable transformation. One controversial topic he addresses is the balance between job loss and creation. Will we all become creatives alongside AI, or something else entirely? This is both a call to reflection and an urgent action plan for emotional intelligence development.
