Paperback. The Speed of Change in the 2020sThe 2020s have taught us that the speed of change often outpaces our ability to comprehend it. We have entered an era defined by compressed history-where shifts that once took decades now unfold in months. From artificial intelligence reshaping the fundamental nature of work to geopolitical realignments challenging long-standing global alliances, this decade is the proving ground for what will define the 2030s. We find ourselves at the intersection of four seismic disruptions. Technological acceleration has moved beyond the digital screen, manifesting in autonomous systems and the commercialization of space. Political volatility has replaced stability, fueled by domestic polarization and a shifting global power balance. Economic tension remains high as we navigate the aftershocks of a worldwide pandemic, inflationary pressures, and the fragility of asset bubbles. Finally, social dynamics are being rewritten by changing cultural norms and a pervasive sense of climate anxiety. This book does not look at these forces in isolation. Using a foundation of data-driven insights combined with scenario-based forecasting, we aim to map the interconnected web of our current reality. The tone here is not one of alarm, but of urgent observation. We must recognize that the "old normal" is not returning; instead, a new, faster, and more complex reality is being forged in real-time. Prediction vs. PreparednessForecasting the next decade is not about asserting certainty; it's about equipping ourselves for volatility. There is a common misconception that the goal of foresight is to function as a crystal ball-to pick the "winning" outcome and bet accordingly. However, the limits of forecasting are real: models often fail exactly when we need them most, particularly when human behavior becomes unpredictable or "black swan" events dominate the landscape. This book is built on the principle of preparedness over prediction. Rather than claiming to know exactly what 2030 will look like, we focus on resilience and adaptability. By utilizing scenario planning, we can explore multiple plausible futures, ensuring that regardless of which path the world takes, we are not caught off guard. To understand where we are going, we must adopt a cross-domain perspective. Politics, economics, technology, and culture do not exist in silos; they collide and influence one another in unexpected ways. This text is intended to serve as a toolkit-a guide for looking beyond the daily headlines to identify the underlying forces shaping our world. We invite you to engage with these pages not as a set of fixed answers, but as a framework for critical thinking and strategic anticipation. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Prediction vs. Preparedness
Forecasting the next decade is not about asserting certainty; it’s about equipping ourselves for volatility. There is a common misconception that the goal of foresight is to function as a crystal ball—to pick the "winning" outcome and bet accordingly. However, the limits of forecasting are real: models often fail exactly when we need them most, particularly when human behavior becomes unpredictable or "black swan" events dominate the landscape. This book is built on the principle of preparedness over prediction. Rather than claiming to know exactly what 2030 will look like, we focus on resilience and adaptability. By utilizing scenario planning, we can explore multiple plausible futures, ensuring that regardless of which path the world takes, we are not caught off guard. To understand where we are going, we must adopt a cross-domain perspective. Politics, economics, technology, and culture do not exist in silos; they collide and influence one another in unexpected ways.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
