"Entering the Shift Age" is my new book and it is now available! It is the best book I have written about the general future of humanity. For those of you who have read my first book "The Shift Age", this new book updates, deepens, validates and provides a much more in-depth look into our collective future. For those of you that did not read "The Shift Age", just start with "Entering the Shift Age".

Humanity has left the Information Age and entered the Shift Age. We have entered perhaps the most transformative time in our history. The speed of change has accelerated so much that it is now environmental. We live in an environment of change. It is a time of great stress between the legacy thinking of the past and the new emerging thinking and reality of the Shift Age.

I have written this book with the intention of providing a clarity for you the reader to understand the Three Forces of the Shift Age, the Five Contexts in which we find ourselves, the reasons for all the change you are now experiencing and finally a view into the future and what it is going to look like. Change is the only constant in the universe. Sometimes change can be upsetting or threatening. I hope this book will give you the deeper understanding and contextual view to become excited about the future and embrace it rather than fear it. In this time of anxiety my hope is that as many people as possible will read "Entering the Shift Age". I am excited that you might read it. Think of it as your road map to the future.

As a futurist it has been clear to me that the book publishing industry, as with all other physical content distribution industries would undergo transformation in the Shift Age. It is therefore thrilling to, in collaboration with the visionary people at my publisher Sourcebooks, create what I think will be one of the new models of book publishing in the future.

Step one was to provide the content for free to a community of followers and thinkers, who had a chance to provide feedback. Some of the input was so good and insightful that it made it into the book. Each of the four parts of the book were uploaded individually and in sequence. Where the agility kicked in was during this process. When Part One and Part Two came down and Part Three went up, Parts One and Two were then published as Ebook #1 "Welcome to the Shift Age". At this time I was still writing Part Four!

Then when Part Three came down and the content for Part Four went up Part Three was published as Ebook #2 "The Transformation Decade: 2010-2020". So parts of the book were published as mini-Ebooks even before I had finished writing the entire book. Agile to market and advanced sales of parts of the book in inexpensive Ebook format months before the full book was to be published.

You can now buy 10 of the 12 mini-Ebooks to sample the book, buy just the parts that initially interest you and, if you like what you read, share that with others. For those of you that know my writings or have heard me speak, you will recognize, that to some degree, I am disintermediating the "Book" in a way never done before. Hey, I am a futurist!
