Since the publication of Megatrends in 1982, the future has been in the center of John Naisbitt’s research and analysis. Megatrends reigned over the New York Times best-seller list for more than two years, has been published in 57 countries, and has sold more than eight million copies. With his articulate and inspiring message, Naisbitt today speaks before global corporations and provides counsel to leading politicians. His cultural life and residence in countries on several continents keep him directly in touch with global conditions—knowledge that is reflected in his bestselling books.

A former visiting fellow at Harvard University, and former visiting professor at Moscow State University, he is currently a faculty member at the Nanjing University in China, and serves as a Distinguished International Fellow, Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS), in Malaysia —the first non-Asian to hold this appointment. He is the recipient of 15 honorary doctorates in the humanities, technology, and science. A native of Utah, he lives in Vienna, Austria, and Beijing, China.
