The Anthology of Balaji

Considering the author's track record with the book "Almanack of Naval Ravikant," which I have yet to read but have heard much about, I had high expectations for this one. And I must say, it surpassed my expectations.

This book is a gold mine for those who love to ponder, especially about the future. It delves deep into how deeply the technologies discussed by Balaji will impact our lives.

The language isn't overly technical, which might lead some to dismiss it as another piece of tech talk. However, we can't ignore the automation and digital revolution we're undergoing. If we deny that we're in the early stages of the next big revolution, we're deceiving ourselves.

Topics like AI with robotics and blockchain with its countless potential applications across industries will leave you amazed if you have the patience to read and research (not everything is covered in this book, sorry). However, you'll gain the mindset and insights about the approaching future.

Balaji is highly optimistic about Bitcoin and pessimistic about government and MNC control over regulation, money, and technology. While I personally see a shift toward a multipolar world with no single currency replacing the dollar, I don't fully agree with his stance on Bitcoin. Yet, that's the beauty of it— the author acknowledges that readers may disagree with many of his thoughts, and he's open to that.

We're not just spectators of the future; we're actively shaping it. Everyone will contribute to and influence the future, so we can't predict exactly what will happen. However, the insightful discussion of current scenarios and upcoming technologies in this book will undoubtedly help us understand many aspects, if not all, of the future we're heading towards.

The future is not only about tech but also about the health, manufacturing, Agriculture, Space and many more unexplored, unexpected areas yet to be discovered. This book provides you with the glimpse for the same which put you over the age than many others who are going forward without proper knowledge. That's why it's best pick for everyone who really wants to be part of building better future for themselves.
