2038 Digital Epochalypse: Preparing Your Business for the Next Global Crisis is my practical guide to the Year 2038 problem, the successor to Y2K. On 19 January 2038, systems that store time as a signed 32-bit number will overflow, and the book covers what that means for the systems the economy still runs on.
It is written for business leaders and technical teams alike, and combines technical insight, historical context and strategy:
- A detailed look at the 2038 issue, its potential impact across industries, and lessons from past technology failures
- Step-by-step analysis of high-risk systems and likely failure points
- Real-world case studies of time-related errors
- Best practice for upgrades, migration planning and mitigation
- Risk assessment and future-proofing strategies for decision-makers
Available in hardback, paperback and ebook. It is also the official handbook of the Legacy Systems Foundation.
