“A visionary roadmap for people who believe they can change the world—and invaluable advice about bringing together the partners and technologies to help them do it.” —President Bill ClintonA radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools, Bold unfolds in three parts. Part One focuses on the exponential technologies that are disrupting today’s Fortune 500 companies and enabling upstart entrepreneurs to go from “I’ve got an idea” to “I run a billion-dollar company” far faster than ever before. The authors provide exceptional insight into the power of 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotics, networks and sensors, and synthetic biology. Part Two draws on insights from billionaires such as Larry Page, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos and reveals their entrepreneurial secrets. Finally, Bold closes with a look at the best practices that allow anyone to leverage today’s hyper-connected crowd like never before. Here, the authors teach how to design and use incentive competitions, launch million-dollar crowdfunding campaigns to tap into tens of billions of dollars of capital, and finally how to build communities—armies of exponentially enabled individuals willing and able to help today’s entrepreneurs make their boldest dreams come true.

"So, essentially this is a tool consisting of a couple of wordlists for randomly selecting a phrase(-ish), for jogging your imagination when trying to come up with "an event that happened to someone" in a fictional story. Nothing wrong with that but nothing mindblowing either. The results of a "waylay roll", being entirely random, can be very hard to make sense of, but hey, it's not like the RPG police will come busting down your door if you reroll when getting some nonsense that gets you stumped. I do like the idea of the "waylay solution" table, causing resistance to using the most obvious resolution to the situations. The final example in the paper was strangely written and I did not understand it at all, might have been better to use a setting and theme familiar to the majority of people, and clarify the thought processes a little more. OK, could see it being usable."
