A study of second-order effects

Pick a trend. Follow it to its conclusions.

Each prediction unfolds into the chain of consequences it sets off — first order, second, third — and the business openings that appear along the way. Open one and trace where it leads.

The years are educated guesses, not forecasts — a tool for thinking in second-order effects, not a promise about dates.
