Every lawyer in the world should have read this book. If you want to be aware of what is happening to you and to your profession, and if you want to anticipate the change, you better hurry and buy this brillant essay of Professor Richard Susskind.

There were a lot of intriguing ideas in this book that open so many possibilities. Very good reading!

Good book. Lacks sophisticated or complex arguments and is redundant at times. However, the basic concepts are well described.

This is a fantastically well written book by someone who has clearly dedicated himself (9indeed his life) to understanding the future of our profession. This is compulsory reading for all legal practitioners!

This books is the answer to many questions that arise in your mind if -in spite of being a lawyer- you are part of the people who stay hungry and stay foolish, as Jobs said. Welcome to the most challenging times of the legal profession!

Lawyers, as well as other professionals, should embrace the benefits from todays and tomorrow's technology to improve their reach and provide more value. That is the new paradigm that professionals, regardless of their age, need to adopt.

This book was a most enlightening read! It gave depth of the insight the author has in terms of legal "business/practice development"; and is a book that every attorney, who is looking at his/her future in the profession, should read.It's applicability extends beyond just the USA, but to other less-developed jurisdictions, who are catching up to the huge developments that have, are and will happen in the future.What was most surprising to me was the fact that the author is not a "doomsday prophet" in respect of losses of jobs in the legal profession; but rather re-focuses the types of jobs that graduates of law programmes across the world might be directed into.

I bought this as a starting point for a conference on AI that i attended. It is a brilliant book- it addresses a lot of ideas about tomorrow’s lawyers and I honestly think it should be mandatory reading for year 1 students. I felt cheated by my uni having discovered this at the end of my degree, but not all is lost.

Well written great insights

The brilliant and well-grounded predictions contained in this book, particularly, on the outsourcing of legal services and future development of AI, are a must read for any lawyers in private practice and in-house. I would suggest it also to people in legal tech industry or anyhow connected to legal services. It is well written, never boring and goes straight to the point, so it gives with little effort and time, a clear view of the most important distruptive changes to expect in the future.
