). The book is a collection of original essays from influential technology and 
business experts examining different aspects of low-code development in the 
enterprise, and the impact of low-code on the future of business process 
automation. HYPERAUTOMATION is available through Amazon.com, 
BarnesandNoble.com, and other major retailers, as well as through

HYPERAUTOMATION features a Foreword by legendary chess grandmaster, former 
World Chess Champion, writer, and political activist Garry Kasparov. Mr. 
Kasparov discusses how his views on how the human/machine connection have 
evolved from his historic battles with Deep Blue to today. He states in his 
Foreword:

"The human mind is an unmatched analogy engine, able to apply experience and 
new information to new circumstances almost instantly. Machines can't do this 
themselves-not yet-but with our guidance, they can help feed our insatiable 
appetite for ever-greater agility." 

The book also features an Introduction from Appian CEO Matt Calkins that sets 
the context for the chapters to follow. Mr. Calkins highlights the urgency of 
the lessons found in HYPERAUTOMATION, writing:

"COVID-19 set the spark for the next phase of the enterprise software 
revolution. In the pandemic, business realized that change was a matter of 
survival."
