Yes, you hear it right. That is a very bold statement. But he's got a story to back it up. Across this three-part series, We'll explore why traditional employment models are failing, how emerging technologies like Web3 and AI are reshaping work, and what companies must do to survive.

Whether you are an employee, an employer, or just curious about where work is headed, this series will challenge the way you think

So, would it be fair to say that the metaverse, Web3, and all these emerging technologies are essentially bridges, tools that help us redefine the employee experience? Not just in one way, but in ways that actually make sense for our lives, our productivity, our outcome, and our well-being? Would you put it that way?

You mentioned that you and Deborah, the co-founder of WorkStreet Institute, worked on this book together with you. I know there's quite a story behind how this book came to be. Can you share that with us here?

How did you get HBR on board with this book? We publish a lot of business books, many from professors, industry leaders, and big-name executives. Of course, Deborah is a leader in her space, and you have your HBS background, but pitching a book idea is never easy. So how did you make the case? What convinced them that this was a book they had to publish? What did that process look like?

How long did the whole book process take? Now you are at the finish line with the launch. But of course, that's really just the beginning of a new chapter. From that initial cold call to getting to this point, how long was the journey? What did that timeline look like?

That makes sense. About 10 years ago, I actually published two books in Chinese, not in English. That's why I never sent you my books. One was with a commercial publisher, and the other was through a university publisher in China. I finished both within two years, and one for Hong Kong, the other distributed at the national level in China.

Long story short, I've always appreciated the depth a book brings. At some point, I love to write one in English. Because a book isn't just a quick e-book or 10-page summary. It holds real thought, deep reflection, and analytical depth. These days, sure, a lot of people use AI tools to generate content. Actually, going through the full process like you did,
