I used to rant about how I hate "TED books" which just pander to the 115 IQ people who think that they're the very finest humanity has to offer. The books are fine of themselves, but a spirit of unearned superiority wafts about like flatus in a lift. This book is nothing like that, Lee Kuan Yew be praised.
The book does go into the classic emerging tech fields of UBI, renewable energy, blockchain voting and similar technologies that have been done to death in so many tomes one loses count. However, they also go into the economics and business of indoor vertical aeroponic farming, which is my favourite part of the book.
All the book discusses has to do with how Singapore will become the first transhuman city in the world, and the arguments to this point are somewhat convincing - there's no reason to doubt the strengths of Singapore will dissipate in the decades to come. This book is good if you can see past the pretentiousness.
