A wide range of organizations generously assembled next-generation leaders with rich perspectives which I found invaluable. For their generous support of this research, I’d like to thank Ngaire Woods of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Governance, Jonathan Bright of the Oxford Internet Institute, and the Oxford Urbanists. I also enjoyed discussions with well-informed and ambitious youth hosted by the Mercator Stiftung in Berlin, and the Doha Debates team of Amjad Attalah, Amy Selwyn, Caroline Scullin, and Nelufar Hedayat. Special thanks to Maya Hari of Twitter for convening an eclectic and multinational group of “Tweeps” from across Asia. I am also grateful to veteran global explorer Martin Gray, who found time during a brief respite from his spiritual wanderings to comment on the entire manuscript.
I also wish to thank numerous others with whom conversations (in person or virtual) have been helpful in formulating and testing ideas presented in this book (in alphabetical order): K. D. Adamson, David Adelman, Rukhsana Afzaals, Ellie Alchin, Nick Alchin, Tracey Alexander, Alisher Ali, Rafat Ali, Saleem Ali, Amit Anand, Simon Anholt, Yusuke Arai, Lorig Armenian, Maha Aziz, Richard Barkham, Umej Bhatia, Helena Robin Bordie, Fabio Brioschi, Chris Brooke, Mat Burrows, Penny Burtt, Heng Wing Chan, Chris Chau, Andrea Chegut, Holly Cheung, Renato Chizzola, Neel Chowdhury, Michael Chui, Andy Clarke, Steve Clemons, Andy Cohen, James Crabtree, Louis Curran, Anna Dai, Hugues Delcourt, James Der Derian, James Dorsey, Steve Draper, Brooks Entwistle, Chris Eoyang, Reza Etedali, Hany Fam, Nick Fang, James Fazi, Michael Ferrari, Elie Finegold, Dennis Frenchman, Yoichi Funabashi, Miguel Gamino, David Giampaolo, Loretta Girardet, Bruno Giussani, Jan-Philipp Goertz, Lawrence Groo, Sandro Gruenenfelder, Amol Gupte, Nina Hachigian, Kyle Hagerty, Niels Hartog, Jason Hickel, David Hoffman, Paul Holthaus, David Horlock, John Howkins, Greg Hunt, Pico Iyer, Josef Janning, Namrata Jolly, Christian Kaelin, So-Young Kang, Prakash Kannan, Sagi Karni, Tarun Kataria, Gerry Keefe, Shane Kelly, Sanjay Khanna, Sid Khanna, Gaurang Khemka, Eje Kim, Brett King, Ryushiro Kodaira, Natasha Kohne, Daniel Korski, Sung Lee, Mark Leonard, Steve Leonard, David Leonhardt, Adam Levinson, Beibei Li, Yingying Li, Mike Lightman, Greg Lindsay, Christopher Logan, Pierre-Yves Lombard, Karen Makishima, Aaron Maniam, Ali Mansour, Greg Manuel, Chris Marlin, Rui Matsukawa, Sean McFate, Suketu Mehta, Pankaj Mishra, Afshin Molavi, Brent Morgans, Mazyar Mortazavi, Mary Mount, Cameron Najafi, Kimi Onoda, Thomas Pang, Charles Pirtle, Todd Porter, Kailash Prasad, Noah Raford, Adam Rahman, Julia Raiskin, Adi Ramachandran, Anne Richards, Oliver Rippel, Anthea Roberts, Undine Ruge, Alpo Rusi, Manny Rybach, Karim Sadjadpour, Rick Samans, Rana Sarkar, Gerhard Schmitt, Annette Schoemmel, Peter Schwartz, Zeynep Sen, Neeraj Seth, Reva Seth, Andres Sevtsuk, Ankur Shah, Lutfey Siddiqi, Graham Silverthorne, J.

My family has been living the thesis of this book since before I was born, yet another reason to thank Mom and Dad for their tireless support, spontaneous anecdotes, and continued willingness to read my manuscripts start to finish. My wife, Ayesha, has also peppered me with a continuous stream of relevant material, and her intuitions about our own family travel destinations have tilted my thinking in very useful ways. Our global kids, Zara and Zubin, are no longer in the back of my mind as I write but front and center as they quiz us on facts about the world and weigh in with their observations and judgments about all the places they’ve been and want to go. My brother Gaurav and sister-in-law Anu also radiated insights about so many topics covered herein, and my niece Anisha and nephew Roshan are the finest incarnations of the next-gen digital natives shaping the future.
This book evolved considerably from its original formulation, and many of those improvements are thanks to my transatlantic editorial team of Rick Horgan at Scribner (Simon & Schuster) and Jenny Lord at Orion (Hachette). Thanks deeply to both for their confident guidance in this genuinely fruitful partnership. As ever, I am eternally indebted to Jenn Joel at ICM; the word “agent” does not even remotely capture the role her wise counsel and friendship plays in all aspects of my work. At Curtis Brown in London, the team of Jake Smith-Bosanquet, Richard Pike, and Savanna Wicks have been a thoroughly positive force in ensuring that my work receives a global audience. Deepest thanks to my entire dream team.
