Imagine a world where your fridge plans taco night, AI tutors teach millions, and space gigs are as common as a weekend getaway. That world isn't sci-fi-it's 2035, and it's being built today. In The Future Is Now: How Today's Trends Predict Tomorrow, Dr. Tim Johnson, an optometrist and futurist, takes you on a vibrant journey through 16 trends shaping the next decade, from artificial intelligence and virtual reality to urban farming and space exploration. With the warmth of a friend sharing a big idea, Dr. Johnson demystifies tech through stories of real people: nurses like Sarah using AI to save lives, farmers like Amara growing kale on skyscrapers, and coders like Lila launching satellite apps. He paints a vivid 2035 where smart cities hum, VR classrooms connect villages, and ethical frameworks keep tech human. But he's honest about the challenges-privacy risks, access gaps, and job shifts-offering practical steps to shape a future where everyone thrives. Whether you're a tech newbie or a hub coder, this book is your guide to a world you're already creating. Try a $10 gig, tweet #TechForAll, or dream big over bio-tacos. The Future Is Now isn't just a book-it's a call to build tomorrow, together. Join Dr. Johnson and discover your role in the future, starting today.
