Verdict: carrot
The 2010 Flux Trends review neatly avoids becoming irrelevant, thanks to its focus on review rather than trend-spotting. The predominant feature is a look back at political, business or social trends. The brief “about” note at the beginning of the book tells us that in our world of information overload, it provides an opportunity to “hit the pause button” and reflect “on the state we are in”.
Editor Dion Chang opens this year’s compilation with newspaper editor Mondli Makhanya’s reflection on “The Pulse of the People”, which brings with it more questions than answers. Key to the chapter is the ongoing racial tension that pervades South African society.
