Dear Steve,

In the last 2 years since the release of my book Abundance (Feb 2012), the evidence for abundance has continued to mount rapidly.

For example, check out this cover of the Economist titled "Towards the end of Poverty," which shows we've taken a billion people out of poverty in the next 20 years.

I've been collecting additional "proof" of our coming world of abundance. Below is a list of types of data I've been collecting in areas like energy, learning, healthcare, memory, computer speed and more.

I'm looking for additional evidence. Are you open to helping?

Do you have additional examples, not on the list below?

I'm looking for data in the form of charts, like those here.

The selected charts will go into the next release of Abundance this fall.

I'll also be circulating all of this abundance to this community so you can share it with family and friends.

Are you open to helping out?

If you are, please send me an email to evidence@diamandis.com with the charts and data you've found that you think I should include. (It should be non-duplicative from the data I've listed below.)

I'm looking for your input this coming week - till Friday, May 9th - and then I have to turn it around to the publisher.

Thank you in advance for your help. Let's change the way the world sees the future.

Thank you,
Peter
