作品简介

　　1798年，经济学家托马斯·马尔萨斯曾预测，世界上的粮食将很快被耗尽，因为呈线性增长的粮食生产已无法养活呈指数级增长的人口。快进200年，世界人口增长了近10倍，我们离移民火星更近了，而食物不仅没有被耗尽，反而越来越丰盛。

　　是创新创造了这一奇迹——由大规模数字化和指数级增长的技术融合驱动的创新。在《从马尔萨斯到火星》中，两位作者尼科莱·陈·尼尔森和拉斯·特维德基于自己多年的研究与商业实践，从创新力的角度为我们勾勒了正在加速变化的未来生活，并从抗衰老、密集型农业、机器人、新能源解决方案到快速、动态和灵活的组织管理策略等方面，对即将到来的技术将如何改变我们的世界做出了具体的预测。

　　我们也将从“世界是如何演变的”这一核心问题出发，通过探索推动每一种变化发生的潜在力量，理解这些变化在过去是如何创造了巨大的机遇，从而更好地抓住剧变时代的历史性机遇。

Introduction of works

In 1798, the economist Thomas Malthus predicted that the world would soon run out of food because the linear growth of food production could no longer feed the exponential growth of the population. Fast forward 200 years, the world's population has grown nearly tenfold, we're getting closer to colonizing Mars, and food isn't running out, it's getting more abundant.

It is innovation that has made this miracle happen - innovation driven by mass digitization and the convergence of exponentially growing technologies. In From Malthus to Mars, Nicolai Chan Nielsen and Russ Tvedder, based on years of research and business practice, paint a picture of the future of life that is changing at an accelerating pace, from anti-aging, intensive agriculture, robotics, new energy solutions, to fast, dynamic, and flexible organizational management strategies. Specific predictions are made about how upcoming technologies will change our world.

We will also start from the core question of how the world has evolved, by exploring the underlying forces that have driven each of these changes to take place, and by understanding how these changes have created great opportunities in the past, to better grasp the historic opportunities of a time of upheaval.
