It also includes:

  • Infographics, charts, and other data visualizations that identify signals hiding in the data
  • Discussions about the impact trends are having on the world around us

The 
state 
of 
humanity 
has 
always 
been 
in 
flux, 
but 
to 
be 
able 
to 
quantify 
any 
of 
these 
changes 
is 
much 
more 
recent 
development.
With 
today’s 
data, 
there 
are 
multitude 
of 
ways 
we 
could 
examine 
the 
nearly 
eight 
billion 
people 
on 
the 
planet. 
However, 
the 
clearest 
signals 
about 
society 
stem 
from 
data 
that 
is 
robust 
and 
far-reaching:
Where 
do 
people 
live 
globally, 
and 
how 
is 
this 
changing?
Where 
will 
tomorrow’s 
consumers 
come 
from?
Is 
wealth 
growing 
or 
shrinking, 
and 
is 
this 
happening 
equally?
How 
does 
rapidly 
aging 
population 
factor 
into 
all 
of 
this?
In 
this 
chapter, 
we 
take 
10,000-foot 
view 
of 
society 
to 
help 
set 
the 
context 
for 
the 
rest 
of 
this 
book. 
The 
macro 
forces 
you 
are 
about 
to 
see 
are 
perpetually 
at 
work 
in 
the 
background, 
affecting 
almost 
every 
other 
signal 
and 
outcome 
you 
can 
imagine.
