Overview

The future of Silicon Valley is in the past. The next great wave of innovation won’t come from the industries that led the previous one. In part three of his essay series, 21 Technologies for the 21st Century, Tim O’Reilly explains why the next challenge—climate change mitigation and adaptation—will be solved by entrepreneurs focused on real-world infrastructure and operations beyond the reach of today’s tech giants.

Inspired by his essay “Welcome to the 21st Century,” this four-part series explores 21 technologies that are reshaping the world. Each essay in this series focuses on skills that will increase your ability to respond to these impending changes.

  • The Future Is Knocking—Market opportunities that have the power to utterly transform our economy. What will be the next Silicon Valley?
