The key mega trends on the map are:
- Ageing
- Power shift Eastwards
- Globalisation
- Localisation
- Digitalisation

- Volatility
- Individualism
- Environmental change
- Sustainability
- Debt
- Urbanisation
Some of the predictions include:
- All televised sport becomes short-format
- Epidemic of new disorders caused by uncensored use of digital devices
- Turkey, Iran and Mexico become key powers
- Online communities gather offline to start physical communities
- The robot population surpasses the human population
- Brain holidays
- Communications free resorts
- People attending online funerals
- The appearance of laboratory grown meat in supermarkets
Some of the partial ruins (things that are partly destroyed) include:
- Intimacy
- Privacy
- Modesty
- Paper statements and bills
- Humility
- Optimism about the future
