Aftershocks and Opportunities 2: Navigating the Next Horizon
Details
"Aftershocks and Opportunities 2: Navigating the Next Horizon" brings together 37 writers from 17 countries on 5 continents to explore the forces, developments, emerging ideas, issues, risks, and opportunities that could shape our post-pandemic world.
This new book explores key “future defining” themes, critical shifts on the horizon, and diverse scenarios. The topics covered range from geo-political scenarios, the rise and impact of the crypto economy, the reinvention of travel, and the impact of digital eco-systems, through to sustainable food production, generational reactions to the pandemic, and the recovery path for the most hard-hit regions.
In this session moderated by the book's lead editor Rohit Talwar, several of the book contributors will share key insights from their chapters and discuss the broader themes explored in the book.
