Bioengineering will obviously be a large technological force moving forward. Quick vaccine development and targeting cancer seems like the tip of the iceberg.

Technological advancement in semi-conductors has enabled human-like AI models.

We'll see if any of these show in statistics like average life spans and mortality rates.

We'll see if AI helps in productivity (e.g., per capita GDP): the book shows data that says that computers and the Internet had effects, but they were done by 2004 (book was published in 2016, and had numbers until 2014).

US labor productivity has increased considerably since just after that book was published, so I strongly doubt the "they were done" claim there.
