About this listen

For decades, the tech industry has overwhelmingly been just a software industry. Silicon Valley’s big win was disrupting Yellow Cab. What about disrupting General Motors? General Mills? General Electric?

Energy, water, waste, food, manufacturing, construction—things every human on Earth relies on—have made incremental progress over the last century but have not seen the kind of exponential improvements we take for granted in computing.

Meanwhile, scientific progress continued, invention kept advancing, but these technologies were considered too hard by the tech geniuses preoccupied with shoving more ads into your prefrontal cortex.

Now is the moment when all of this changes. Seismic waves signaling the tectonic shift are underfoot. We call it Deep Tech—the advanced technologies we will use to solve the biggest problems in the world.

Deep Future is about giving you the mindset, the tools and the reasons for creating technology that matters.

The good stuff:
- Some wonderful examples of innovators creatively solving problems in ways that can bring a huge grin to your face
- Thorough and data-filled analyses of inefficient industries that need changing

The frustrating stuff
- Breathtaking ignorance about world cultures from a know-it-all author
- Repetitive sniping at people who build ‘shallow tech’ instead of deep tech (when a one page blog post on that could have done the job)

I got some value from it, but I feel it was such an opportunity lost to go more into the innovation process instead of just pontificating about stupid most people are.

2 parts inspiration, 3 parts condescension
