The compendium MIND THE FUTURE summarises in a file-card format
the most important developments in the economy, demography,
society, technology, politics and ecology. In each area, ten
relevant contemporary trends are identified and their possible
future development analysed. The 60 trends are – wherever
possible – supported with scientific fact and illustrated with
images by Cologne artist Manu Burghardt. MIND THE FUTURE is an
“open book” and reflects the fact that we can, in the end, only
formulate hypotheses about the future and will need to revise
our assumptions as time goes by. The book is aimed at readers
who want to find out more about today’s key developments and
their possible effects on the future. MIND THE FUTURE gives rein
to both established and lateral thinking and offers inspiration
as well as support for decision making.
