SUMMARY:Robert Colvile - The Great Acceleration
DESCRIPTION:Flash crashes. Speed dating. Instant messaging. From the devic
 es we carry to the lives we lead\, everything is getting faster\, faster.
  But where did this great acceleration come from? And where will it lead
 ? In this vitally important new book\, Robert Colvile explains how the cu
 lt of disruption in Silicon Valley\, the ceaseless advance of technology 
 and our own fundamental appetite for novelty and convenience have combine
 d to speed up every aspect of daily life.\nDrawing on the latest research
 \, this book traces the path of this acceleration through our working and
  social lives\, the food we buy and the music to which we listen. It expl
 ains how it's transforming the media\, politics and the financial markets
  – and asks whether our bodies\, and the natural environment\, can co
 pe.\n\n\nAs we race towards the future – into a world packed with new 
 technologies\, new ideas and new discoveries – this scintillating and 
 engrossing book is an invaluable\, must-read guide to the wonders and dang
 ers that await us. Chaired by Richard Walker.
