My latest book ”Coming tomorrow- how are megatrends changing our future?” (in Finnish, published autumn 2019) included answers to big questions like: how is climate change affecting our future, what is happening to the population, where do we live in the future, how do we travel, what things are affecting to our health in the future, what do we eat and how are AI and robotics affecting our lives in the future. The writing process was a massive research work, that included going through hundreds of sources of information. The writing process was also a learning and a discovery process for me – and some of the findings managed to surprise me. In this lecture I go through 10 things that surprised me, when writing the book.
