The Age of Convergence
Official Unveiling of the book & Expert Roundtable at Davos — January 2026
The Age of Convergence, a landmark work exploring the historic moment into which humanity is accelerating — a moment where frontier technologies are merging into a single, interconnected ecosystem reshaping our civilization.
This book examines how the fusion of these technologies is redefining governance, identity, security, economics, and the architecture of society — and why our collective responsibility is to ensure these systems serve humanity first.
A New Technological Epoch
The Age of Convergence analyzes the pillars of this transformation and how their combined impact is greater than the sum of their parts:
Artificial Intelligence – autonomous reasoning systems; human-AI alignment Quantum Technologies – quantum resilience; sovereign secure communications Space & Satellite Systems – orbital data economies; global connectivity Cybersecurity & Trusted Hardware – semiconductor-rooted digital trust Biotechnology & Neurotech – synthetic biology; ethical human enhancement Blockchain & Digital Assets – decentralized trust; programmable governance Robotics & Autonomous Systems – advanced human–machine collaboration Climate & Sustainability Tech – clean-tech; planetary stewardship
The Davos Roundtable: A Collaborative Expansion of the Book
During the Davos Roundtable, leading experts and thinkers from around the world will debate the themes of The Age of Convergence and provide multidisciplinary insights into each of the technological domains covered in the book.
This will be an active, collaborative session — not only discussing the implications of converging technologies but also shaping the next chapter of the narrative.
The outcomes, conclusions, and strategic recommendations emerging from this roundtable will be incorporated into an expanded edition of the book, making The Age of Convergence a living, evolving blueprint informed by global expertise.
The Trilogy Blueprint
- The TransHumanCode (2019) – Human-centric digital ethics
- Humanity at the Crossroads (2023) – AI & quantum reshaping global systems
- The Age of Convergence (2026) – A roadmap for a fully interconnected technological civilization
A Human-Centric Future
When integrated responsibly, convergent technologies can:
- Strengthen sovereignty, digital rights, and trusted identities
- Build resilient and inclusive societies
- Accelerate scientific discovery and economic growth
- Protect human dignity in an AI-driven era
- Empower individuals amid rising machine intelligence
A Call to Responsible Leadership
Convergence is not a technological trend — it is a civilizational turning point.
It demands leadership that ensures innovation amplifies human values, freedoms, and shared purpose.
Unveiling at Davos
The Age of Convergence will be officially unveiled during a dedicated Davos Roundtable in January 2026, where global leaders and world-class experts will co-create the perspectives that will shape the expanded edition of the book.
“The convergence of AI, quantum technologies and digital identities will reshape global trust models.”
