The document discusses the transition to a network society and challenges that may arise. It notes exponential technological changes and shifts from hierarchies to networks. While new pillars of this network society like renewable energy and 3D manufacturing offer sustainability, incumbent systems and bureaucracies may resist changes or overreact through panic or precaution. Questions are raised on defining roles in this new society for entrepreneurs, managers, and creatives.
