Gordon Brown to look into the future for Simon & Schuster

27.01.12 | Lisa Campbell

Simon & Schuster is set to publish another book by Gordon Brown looking into the technological, social and political forces affecting the future in 2025. The book, entitled 2025: Shaping a New Future will be published in hardback globally in November 2012. Editorial director Mike Jones signed the book on behalf of S&S.

An S&S spokesperson said: "In 2025: Shaping a New Future Gordon Brown charts the massive technological, demographic social and political forces - including the explosive growth of a global middle class, reinventing our world.

"He shows that by 2025, for the first time in human history, the majority of people will live in urban areas and one billion will have a university degree, families will be under pressure as a minority of young Western adults choose marriage, and Brown asks whether and how we can convert a new wave of scientific and medical progress into a more sustainable and widely shared prosperity which ends avoidable poverty."

S&S has previously published the former Labour prime minister’s book Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalisation in 2010.
