He has lived near Zurich for more than 25 years, where he has built up two companies of his own, using mathematical methods to model global capital markets and construct systemic trading models from them. His enthusiasm for the natural sciences and philosophy has, however, never left him. He has written ten books on various topics (history and philosophy of science and technology, future technologies, issues of technologies). In his widely read blog as well as other media he frequently writes on issues concerning current scientific developments, new technologies, and their meaning for society (see www.lars.jaeger(at)larsjaeger.ch for all books and blogs). He lives in the canton of Zug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 218\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52621935313203,"sku":"9783031239250","price":48.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/V2Z2ZUw2N0ZaLzFCbi80U2RWSmhudz09.webp?v=1761958662","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/women-of-genius-in-science-whose-frequently-overlooked-contributions-changed-the-world-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
