The Future Is Analog
Bestselling culture writer David Sax lays out the case against a false digital utopia—and for a more human future In The Future Is Analog, David Sax points out that the onset of the pandemic instantly gave us the digital universe we’d spent so long anticipating. Instant communication, online shopping, virtual everything. It didn’t take long to realize how awful it was to live in this promised future. We craved real experiences, relationships, and spaces and got back to real life as quickly and often as we could. In chapters exploring work, school, religion, and more, this book asks pointed questions: Is our future inevitably digital? Can we reject the downsides of digital technology without rejecting change? Can we innovate not for the sake of productivity but for the good of our social and cultural lives? Can we build a future that serves us as humans, first and foremost? This is a manifesto for a different kind of change. We can spend our creativity and money on building new gadgets—or we can spend them on new ways to be together and experience the world, to bake bread, and climb mountains. All we need is the clarity to choose which future we want.

Start Here
This book consists of two halves. The first half of the book will explore different concepts that go hand in hand with self improvement. These concepts include focus, meta-cognition, habits, universal laws, and more. Since history is largely looked at as just being in the past, other sections in this half will explore certain historical events and question the effects they have had on some demographics and classes. The second half of this book will seek to explore consumer industry markets that will change and shape common day life in the next decade. Projects in the fields of virtual reality, automotive, and wearable technology are all explored. Along with consumer markets, the actual consumer of the next decade is explored as well as the BRICs nations and the eventual globalized economy. These first two decades of the 21st century mark the beginning of the Electric Age, and possibly the age of decentralization.

In New Power, Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms confront the biggest story of our age and trace how New Power is the key to understanding where we are and will prosper in the 21st Century. Drawing on examples from business, politics, popular culture and social justice, as well as case studies of organisations like LEGO and TED, they explain the forces that are changing the course of our age.
