About the book
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? In this groundbreaking new book, Joshua Cooper Ramo, author of the international bestseller The Age of the Unthinkable, examines the historic force that is shaking our world and explains how our leaders, our businesses, and each of us can master it. Introducing a powerful new way of seeing the world, he reveals that the secret to power is through activating our ‘seventh sense’, that 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 about the forces that are invisible to most of us but explain everything from explosive technological change to uneasy political ripples. This is what the victors of this age know – and what the losers are not yet seeing. The Seventh Sense won’t merely change the way you see the world. It will also give you the power to change it.
