Andrea's book addresses one of the fastest accelerating challenges facing society, our economies, organizations, and even our personal lives in the twenty-first century. This book is not about crisis management. Exponential change is not a single shift but a continuous change of circumstance. The need for tech-savvy leadership, ESG awareness, and ethical leadership has become clear. This book is a must read for those charged with overseeing change and everyone who seeks to understand the nature of the exponential change we are only beginning to experience. As Andrea states, in the Age of Pandora, we must be both innovators and stewards.

Aptly named, Governing Pandora is both optimistic and realistic at the same time. Bonime-Blanc draws out the great impacts emerging technologies (including quantum) will have while integrating their attendant risks and responsibilities. Her inclusion of quantum's effects on risk and polyrisk, adaptive governance, and tech trustworthiness are great examples of the depth with which she tackles critical issues. The book is loaded with practical suggestions for countries, companies, and colleagues to consider in order to future-proof our collective paths ahead.

Nora M. Denzel
As directors, we've been told every new technology is 'game-changing'—but now it actually is. So how do we govern in the age of exponential change? Look no further. Dr. Andrea Bonime-Blanc cuts through the noise in Governing Pandora, giving corporate directors the straight talk and tools they need to keep up in a world that's evolving faster than we can refresh our feeds.
Friso van der Oord
The era of naïve optimism about transformative technology as a force for human progress is squarely behind us. Yes, new technologies continue to offer immense opportunity for supercharged growth. But today they not only unleash creative destruction in the marketplace but also threaten to destabilize core societal and political foundations, degrading trust and undermining our geopolitical order. Companies and governments now have a much greater responsibility to ensure that their technologies are used responsibly. Andrea Bonime-Blanc's Governing Pandora is a critical new contribution that illuminates this new and far more dangerous world of exponential technology change, calling on leaders at all levels and across all sectors to be responsibly courageous in the adoption and governance of new technologies.
