Summary

It can at times feel like everything is falling apart. And there is a reason for this. It really is. We can either see this as an end or a beginning. In this uplifting and essential guide to a bewildering future, Neil Gibb claims that we are witnessing the birth of a new world, in which passive consumers are being replaced by active participants. We are at one of those rare points in human history, he argues, when a whole way of thinking is on the turn, just as it was in the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. Those who catch the swell early are the ones who prosper. Those who don’t get it will be left behind.
