This book is not an answer to precise questions. It is not a “crystal-ball” to predict the future. However, it is about scientifically proven facts, documented rising phenomena, and developing trends in the latest technological progress. Some parts of the book are about unsupported and somewhat speculative opinions.
This book will not provide solutions to the challenges the world is facing but will reveal a kind of advanced template for answering them. Its contribution is to raise awareness regarding challenging and complex issues the world is facing. It is up to learning institutions, industry leaders, policy-makers, and other social actors to develop their own strategies and actions and to respond adequately to these challenges.
