Martin identifies and explains the 10 key challenges for humanity in the 21st Century:
- Heal the planet
- Eliminate war between high-tech nations
- End terrorism
- Detect and prevent the spread of infectious deseases
- End extreme poverty
- Realise the learning potential in all
- Manage computer intelligence
- Refine our use of increased leisure time
- Control the long-term impacts of all innovation
- Enhance the human body through technology

If the 20th Century was all about 'progress', the 21st Century must be about transition, about reconsidering whether all progress, at the same rate, and in the same direction, isn't in fact to charge towards our own extinction. Informed by interviews with experts worldwide, this book is set to have as great an impact on society as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, 40 years ago.
