Book Overview

What book is on more library shelves in the United States than any other volume including any version of the Bible or any single work of Shakespeare? What book is acclaimed as a "field guide to the future" and "a road map to the twenty-first century?" The answer is Megatrends. Building on the principle that the "most reliable way to anticipate the future, the author identifies the following trends which will transform our lives: (1) Becoming an information society after having been an industrial one. (2) From technology being forced into use, to technology being pulled into use where it is appealing to people. (3) From a predominantly national economy to one in the global marketplace. (4) From short term to long term perspectives. (5) From centralization to decentralization. (6) From getting help through institutions like government to self-help. (7) From representative to participative democracy. (8) From hierarchies to networking. (9) From a northeastern bias to a southwestern one. (10) From seeing things as "either/or" to having more choices. Mega Truth is the Christian response to Megatrends. This description may be from another edition of this product.
