Publisher's summary

Get ready for fast, radical, and complex change. Get ready for the extreme future.

Our world is constantly buffeted by new and dramatic changes we can't fully grasp. No one is fully prepared for the challenges, crises, and risks that lie ahead. The Extreme Future is a blueprint for what's next and how to navigate these changes.

An advisor to three White Houses spanning more than 30 years, Dr. Canton challenges us that with the right information about future trends, it is possible to identify probable outcomes. It is possible with the right information to navigate the extreme future.

The audiobook covers the following major trends:

  • How climate change and energy trends will reshape the planet
  • How shifting population trends will transform the workforce
  • How radical innovation trends will competitively drive business
  • How astounding medicine trends will enhance people's life
  • How dangerous terrorism trends will threaten the individual
  • How the rise of China will bring on a new global power struggle

The answers to these questions are not only available, but contained within this audiobook. The Extreme Future is the forecasting handbook for the 21st century.

Badly Dated

1. The audio version of the book was released 31 July 2018 but the written book was published in 2006, yes that is correct 12 year earlier. The audio book does not contain any updates. As a result is the book is badly dated.
2. The inform presented is purely subjective and is of little immediate value other than entertainment. While I tend to agree with many of the authors suppositions his timelines are badly flawed.
3. Learnt the lesson; despite the release date I must do more research on the source material.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
