“2025 Hype Fire Bat” is a term used to describe the anticipated convergence of several transformative technologies in the year 2025, leading to a period of rapid innovation and societal change. These technologies include artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
The term was coined by venture capitalist Marc Andreessen in a 2014 essay, in which he argued that these technologies would combine to create a new era of economic growth and human progress. Andreessen predicted that the “hype fire bat” would lead to the development of new products and services, the creation of new industries, and the transformation of existing ones.
