Despite the potential for increased speed as 2040 nears, the authors assert that this phase of acceleration is neither uniform nor determin- istic. Without knowing the future, we can still have the foresight to prepare for security in an age of increasing speed and find value in having collaborative discussions about the role of speed as a catalyst within future global risk and security.
