The Non-Obvious
Trend Series.
A ten-year project: one annual trend report every year from 2011 to 2020, ending with the Wall Street Journal bestselling Non-Obvious Megatrends. All ten editions were researched and written by Rohit, and all are available in the Trends section, most as free downloads.
The annual reports ended on schedule, but the trend work never stopped. It continues in The Future Normal, co-authored with futurist Henry Coutinho-Mason, and in November 2026 in Future Words.
