The Intelligent Age: How Code, Coin, and Culture Are Reshaping the Digital Economy

We are living through the most transformative era in human history, and most people are unprepared.

In The Intelligent Age, acclaimed author and economist Dr. Ned Gandevani, PhD, MBA, takes you deep inside the technological forces reshaping not just industries, but civilization itself. This is not another surface-level book on tech trends, it is a sweeping, rigorously researched, and human-centered exploration of how code, coin, and culture are converging to redefine ownership, governance, work, and identity.

From the rise of artificial intelligence, robotics, and quantum computing to the disruptive power of blockchain, decentralized finance, and digital assets, Dr. Gandevani reveals how these forces are merging into a single, interconnected "intelligent economy." Drawing from global case studies, Estonia's pioneering e-governance, Kenya's mobile money revolution, China's AI-driven urban systems, he shows how nations, corporations, and individuals are competing, collaborating, and adapting in real time.

But this book goes far beyond the "what" of technology, it's about the why and the what's next. You'll explore:

• • How artificial intelligence is moving from automation to imagination, and why its creative power raises profound ethical questions.
  • The real promise and limits of quantum computing, and how it could rewrite the rules of finance, medicine, and climate science.
  • Why digital assets are redefining ownership, value, and trust in the global marketplace.
  • The leadership skills, governance models, and educational systems we need to thrive in a world of constant digital reinvention.
  • The human dimension, how our identities, relationships, and mental health are being reshaped in ways both empowering and alarming.

Dr. Gandevani offers a balanced, panoramic view, celebrating innovation's potential to expand opportunity while warning of the systemic risks if we fail to guide it ethically and inclusively. With the clarity of a teacher, the depth of a scholar, and the urgency of a strategist, he provides a roadmap for leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and citizens determined to navigate, and shape, the next phase of our digital civilization.

Whether you are a CEO confronting disruption, a policymaker building future-ready regulations, an investor seeking the next frontier, or simply a curious mind wanting to understand the seismic shifts ahead, The Intelligent Age will equip you with the insights and foresight to not just survive the intelligent revolution, but to lead it.

The future is being coded right now. The question is: will you be a spectator, or an architect?
