Despite its futurist-sounding title, the book mostly covers subjects whose trends are so far along as to be “inevitable”, as the title of author Kevin Kelly’s forecast book claims. This makes it a good overview of the present, and I thought it was a helpful and highly-readable guide to the biggest trends happening now.

I was rather disappointed in this - I expected more. None of the trends mentioned in here are very surprising and often there's a fair bit of handwaving of this will happen - but without any real delve into what that might change as of 2030. My audiobook did have a brief update mentioning Covid but just to say it would accelerate all these trends - not sure I'm convinced by that. I have a few other books to read on tech trends so hope they are less disappointing.

This was interesting, but I'd be lying if I said it was mind-blowing. It is essentially a review of the demographic shifts occurring the world, and speculation as to how said world will have to adapt to those shifts. (My guess is, it will adapt very poorly. Civilization is great at adapting in the long term, and really awful at doing so in the short term.)
