One of the most difficult tasks in finishing this book was deciding when to stop incorporating the latest and greatest breakthroughs into our story. In the weeks and months following the completion of this manuscript, a barrage of new technologies supporting our case for abundance continued to appear at an ever-increasing rate. We think it’s critically important for you to have access to this ongoing evidence for abundance. Therefore, we’ve created five different ways for you to stay plugged in, interact with the authors, and join an ongoing conservation about radical advances in energy, food, water, health, education, technophilanthropy, DIY innovation, and all the rest.

Thank you for taking the time to read Abundance. We hope our contrarian view of the future has provided an antidote to some of today’s dark pessimisms. Providing abundance is humanity’s grandest challenge—one that together, with intention and action, we can make happen within our lifetime.
