2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything by Mauro F. Guillén
3.0
★★★ ½
This book was written in 2020 with predictions about the world in 2030. Which is 5 years away. How horrifying. The book itself was fascinating, in sort of an anxiety-inducing way. It was like examining the past, present and future under a magnifying glass. The research that led to this book would’ve been a huge undertaking.
The book details how demographics and population changes will affect economies, the people living now and the next generations. It talks about what new technologies and cultural developments that have taken or will take place.
There were things that I just wasn’t interested in (eg. blockchains and cryptocurrencies) and a lot of it is centered on North America, but otherwise it was illuminating. The forecast for the future seems to be bleak yet there is still hope.
