Future Normal: How We Will Live, Work and Thrive in the Next Decade

A handbook for visionaries featuring the 30 biggest non-obvious ideas and instigators that will shape humanity's next decade.

Making outlandish predictions about the future is easy. Predicting the future normal is far harder. For the past decade, Rohit Bhargava and Henry Coutinho-Mason have been on the front lines of the future, leading two of the most successful trend consultancies in the world: TrendWatching and the Non-Obvious Company. Now for the first time, they are teaming up to share a uniquely eye-opening vision of humanity's future. In this updated second edition, they explore the impact of AI as they tackle some of the biggest ethical and societal questions raised by all this progress. These are the stories of the future normal, and they are coming sooner than you think.
