Over the past 25 years, with China’s rising, I have been witness to the most dramatic growth of the financial markets in our country. Today, China is undergoing another revolution, the technological revolution and it is both promising and threatening. We are pioneering the development and application of blockchain, AI and IoT for people of all ages, income levels and professions. By applying the transHuman Code, China can bring together social responsibility and technological innovation for the benefit of all.
TOPICAL AND TO THE POINT
I really enjoyed the book's perspective on how we look at technology as humans and the fear that we are allowing it to direct our emotions in ways that negatively affect society. I can honestly say that I will never look at my phone or other tech devices without thinking about the way I am interacting with people in my personal and professional life and think that there might be more human ways I could be doing it!
