Longtime tech insider Tim O’Reilly calls his new book an economic call to action wrapped in a business book wrapped in a memoir. Titled “WTF? What’s the Future and Why It’s Up to Us,” the book argues that technological innovation can only drive positive economic and social change if the public demands prosperity for all. The O’Reilly Media founder and technology writer joins us in-studio to discuss the book, and his ideas for a human-centric future.

Guests:

Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO, O’Reilly Media; author, “WTF: What’s the Future and Why It’s Up to Us”
