Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change — Available Now!

Aug 1, 2025

👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free daily newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

You’re not crazy. The world really is changing faster than ever, and the rulebook just exploded. Every week brings another wave: AI breakthroughs, synthetic humans, jobs redefined overnight. Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone.

After 14 years of decoding what’s next, I’ve written a business book that doesn’t just explain the future—it lets you experience it. Today, I'm super excited to launch my sixth book: Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change.

Here’s what makes Now What? unlike any other book on your shelf:

✅ A sci-fi story set in 2051, woven through every chapter
✅ TidalShots: 280-character clarity bombs, with QR codes—shareable insights, instantly
✅ Hand-drawn illustrations that visually decode complexity
✅ The WAVE methodology: a practical compass for exponential change
✅ Real-time, 24/7, coaching via my digital twin on WhatsApp (yes, seriously)

Each element is designed to help you not just understand the future, but navigate it. Because when change hits at exponential speed, linear books aren't enough. In the Intelligence Age, static knowledge dies. Dynamic wisdom thrives.

We’re entering the Intelligence Age. AI rewrites cognition. Quantum solves the unsolvable. But algorithms alone won’t save us.

That’s why I’ve woven together Eastern philosophy, Indigenous wisdom, Western innovation, and Nature's perspective, because technology without humanity breaks us.

Yes, there’s shadow in the signal—jobs lost, hyper-surveillance, truth fractured, nature strained. But if we want to build a thriving future, we need to confront these risks head-on.

The result? A framework that helps you distil complexity into action: Watch for signals like a futurist. Adapt with Taoist flexibility. Verify truth in the age of deepfakes. Empower others to build inclusive futures.

“An uplifting guide to shape our future together.” – Ron Kaufman

“An essential methodology for intentional transformation.” – Gary Bolles

“An informative ride through the future of technology and humanity.” – Alvin W. Graylin

I’d love your support in making this a bestseller.

When machines think,
Borders dissolve.
Reality becomes programmable.

Will you be swept away—
or ride the wave and shape the future?
