Jamie Metzl - Hacking The Coronavirus: The Future Of Our World
The globe was in the midst of a viral pandemic. Economies are going belly-up, trickling to a halt, while economists speculate that a recession is coming—or is it already here? Many will lose their livelihoods. Others will suffer even more. Grim enough for you? But when the dust clears and the human species crawls out after months of hibernation and a severely restricted lifestyle, what will our future look like?
