The next episode of (R)evolution features a very special guest and someone whose work I’ve followed longer than I care to count. Among many things, John Battelle is the co-founder of Wired, Founder of Federated Media and Executive Producer of the Web 2.0 Summit. He’s also the author of an upcoming book, What We Hath Wrought, which gives us a forecast of the interconnected world in 2040.

While the book isn’t scheduled to release until early 2013, the foundation for his book is an important conversation to start exploring now. From privacy to publicy to plugging in and keeping up to social fatigue and digital recovery and the ongoing tug of war between emerging and disruptive technology, the future of everything is playing out today. Though connections, creation, and curation, you have a role in shaping its direction.

Please take some time to watch the episode and share your thoughts with us…
