Everything We Know Is Wrong: The Trend Spotters Handbook
Everything We Know Is Wrong: The Trend Spotters Handbook

Challenging mainstream beliefs with future trends.

If you've ever felt skeptical about common wisdom or popular opinions, "Everything We Know Is Wrong" might resonate with you. Magnus Lindkvist isn't just speculating; he provides a grounded tour through evolving trends that question what we take for granted. It's a book that's as provocative as it is enlightening, suitable for anyone intrigued by what tomorrow might look like and how today's "truths" might not hold up.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Some trends are clear and visible; others are less so. But it is the invisible trends that have a greater impact on our lives and society. An example of this is the current global recession, which few people saw coming. If you really want to understand the present and the future, you need to look at the long-term invisible changes taking place behind the scenes not the plethora of trendy gadgets and fashion statements surrounding us on a daily basis. In this book, leading trendspotter and futurist Magnus Lindkvist goes beyond the latest handbag colours and digital gadgets, and instead takes us on a breathtaking tour of the real trends that are happening and evolving. These are the trends that will make a lasting impact on the world and our daily lives. They will provoke you into thinking about the present and future in a completely differently way.
