‘The big trends in emerging technologies are in place if we want to be alert to them. In this book I traverse the worlds of social media, driverless cars, online retailing, travel, education, health, employment and the consequences of the great sin of any age - denial.’

Wake Up is your guide to the biggest economic revolution in more than a century. Engaging and thought-provoking, author David Fagan explores the challenges and opportunities we face as we continue to adapt in the digital age. Highlighting the latest technologies at the forefront of this change, Fagan examines the disrupters who have gone on to become billionaires and those who have failed to adapt.

Whether you are a parent trying to understand digital technology, an entrepreneur looking to chart success, or a manager wanting to understand how your customers live and behave - Wake Up chronicles the rise of social media, including Twitter and Facebook, the Uber and Airbnb phenomenon, the upending of traditional industries, the threat to jobs from robots and explains what this means for how we live, work and play. This is the book we all need to Wake Up with, now.
