"I am not a great reader, but I could not put this book down!" Tim Gray, Chairman - The Future Normal by Henry Coutinho-Mason

Amazon Review - The Future Normal:

"At the beginning of each chapter, The Future Normal asks the most powerful question there is: what if? But more than just posing those two words and letting them hang, the authors take us on a tour of the state of potential and possibility, nudging us to our own inquiry, understanding, and, ultimately, coherent action at a time when nothing is more crucial to us and the future of our society."


Henry Coutinho-Mason, one of the world's leading authorities on trends and innovation (and co-author of "The Future Normal"), aimed to demystify Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emphasise potential benefits for delegates at SPA 108th Conference last month.

Whilst at Conference, Henry signed a number of copies of his book for the SPA and these are now available to SPA Members at a cost of £20 each. 

You can collect your pre-paid books at SPA 109th Conference in Tewkesbury on 17th June - or have them posted (cost of c.£5 per book). 


"I read 3 chapters while I travelled home on the London tube after attending the Two Sides POWER OF PRINT event in November last year. Fantastic insights. A very readable book"

Neil Osment, NOA Ltd

"Oh wow, my girls were amazed by Henry's book, especially the section on Roblox. We've just had an hours discussion about all the future AI topics in there - very engaging book"

Managing Director, SPA Supplier Member
