About Microtrends
The paperback edition of Microtrends, including many new and updated trends, was on The New York Times’ Bestsellers list.
Here's what critics are saying:
"Unrelentingly fascinating ... a diligently researched tome chock-full of counterintuitive facts and findings that may radically alter the way you see the present, the future, and your places in both."
-- The New York Times
"Riveting ... imaginative ... Penn is as much a business consultant as he is a political junkie―a symbiosis that helps explain why so much of his book is so original."
--Financial Times
"Delightful and fast-paced...A breezy, entertaining consideration of niche groups within America."
--Business Week
"Read it for its dozens of social insights that could well be turned to profit."
-- The Economist
