NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER From the author of the
international bestseller THE AGE OF THE UNTHINKABLE comes a powerful new
story of revolution and riches in a connected age. Endless terror. Refugee
waves. An unfixable global economy. Surprising election results. New
billion-dollar fortunes. Miracle medical advances. What if they were all
connected? What if you could understand why? The Seventh Sense examines the
historic force now shaking our world--and explains how our leaders, our
businesses, and each of us can master it. All around us now we are
surrounded by events that are difficult to understand. But every day, new
figures and forces emerge that seem to have mastered this tumultuous age.
Sometimes these are the leaders of the most earthshaking companies of our
time, accumulating billion-dollar fortunes. Or they are successful
investors or our best generals. Other times, however, quick success is
going to terrorists, rebels, and figures intent on chaos. What if we could
know the secret of those who can make sense of this age? What if we could
apply it to the questions that worry us most? In this groundbreaking new
book, Joshua Cooper Ramo, author of the international bestseller The Age of
the Unthinkable, introduces a powerful way of seeing the world. The Seventh
Sense is the story of what all of today's successful figures see and feel--
forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from
explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. The secret to
power now is understanding our new age of networks--not merely the Internet
but also networks of trade and DNA and finance. Based on his years of
advising generals, CEOs, and politicians, Ramo takes us into the opaque
heart of our world's rapidly connected systems and teaches us what the
victors of this age know--and what the losers are not yet seeing. But The
Seventh Sense won't merely change the way you see the world. It will also
give you the power to change it.
