The book 'The Rise of Technosocialism' is a detailed guide to creating a more equal and sustainable world, in the face of the stormy development of science and technology.
Not an entirely new concept, but technosocialism is slowly becoming a philosophy driven by people and for people.
The inevitable birth
This is fueled by incredible advances in technology and reinforced through constant challenges to the status quo around the globe.
As technology reshapes supply and demand, capital markets will adapt and labor market conditions will reverse.
If the economy fails to adequately educate, retrain and support its people, invest in next-generation infrastructure and focus on 21st-century competitiveness, the impact will be devastating.

Technology replacing traditional jobs is one thing, but if the majority of people realize that they have no economic future, no stake in society, no share in the success they see others enjoying, then that's a big problem.
Clearly, just as during the Industrial Revolution, politics and economics will need to evolve for a very different future.
Technological advances can solve our toughest challenges, but they can also highlight inequality and division.
Potential directions
In the book “The Rise of Technosocialism: How Inequality, AI and Climate will Usher in a New World,” authors Brett King and Dr. Richard Petty lead readers to consider a range of possible outcomes.
As a futurist, entrepreneur, and scholar, both Brett King and Dr. Richard Petty are concerned with the adaptability of global social, political, and economic models to a future that is rapidly impending upon humanity.
The book “The Rise of Technosocialism” also talks about facing the harsh realities of the future.
It is about understanding the evolution of the social movements we see today and how they will play out, and having serious conversations about policies that minimize risks to our stability, freedom, and a good future.
We will also consider the possible outcomes of persisting in the current flawed and broken systems.
The book helps readers think about their own future, the future of their families and their communities. As Brett King and Dr. Richard Petty themselves say: “As optimists, we hope you see that these changes are not meant to divide us and that we can build a more prosperous and harmonious future for all.”
It is safe to say that the book is not only a suitable roadmap for anyone trying to navigate the intersection of changes affecting society, but also a detailed handbook for creating a more equal and sustainable world.
