Orwell on steroids
The book brings interviews with leading Czech and foreign economists, academics, businessmen and intellectuals on the transformation of the world in the next thirty years. What scenarios and trends will prevail in the future? Who will succeed in a digital and uncertain age and what education, skills and attributes will be key for the younger generation?
"History is being made these days," notes top manager Marian Salzman in an interview with investment strategist Stepan Uherik about the turbulent present, and she presents global chaos as "the new normal".

The world is experiencing a historical turning point that accentuates many of the threats that George Orwell wrote about so eloquently in his famous works 1984 and Animal Farm. Our world, however, is much more fast-paced than he imagined. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, we are experiencing change 10 times faster and 300 times more dramatic than the Industrial Revolution. The negatives are so much bigger, stronger, faster, like being on steroids. It is the same with the opportunities that the "chaos guide" also discusses. It is up to each one of us to decide how to face the fundamental changes in the world.
