Check out this fascinating book trailer for the new book The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations, and Business by Google’s Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen. Created by the Draw Shop, it outlines just how Schmidt and Cohen see your world changing soon.

As a press release from the Draw Shop explains:

The greatest information and technology revolution in history will transform our world, for better and for worse, in the decades ahead.

At the same time, virtual reality will become more commonplace and online identities will become less anonymous and more valuable.
