Samenvatting

In the wondrous tradition of Sagan, Feynman, Kahneman, Dubner and Levitt, Gladwell - a vision of the future that uses cutting-edge biotech to explore the most challenging mysteries of the 21st century.

A vision of the future that uses cutting-edge biotech to explore the most challenging mysteries of the 21st century.

Po Bronson and Arvind Gupta, venture capitalists from Silicon Valley, take everyday news headlines and decode them, leading us on a journey through their unique and highly entertaining view of the world. Each chapter is prefaced with a real-world headline from today's chaotic news cycle: Dying bees. Rogue planets. Beyond Meat. Glaciers melting. Bronson and Gupta decipher what's really going on behind these headlines, and why.
Decoding the World is the kind of book you get when you give two guys $40 million, a world full of messy big problems and a genetics laboratory to play in, and delves into physics, chemistry, history, philosophy and psychology.
After looking through their lens, you'll never see the world the same.
