 | | Written by internationally renowned trend forecaster and founder of the marketing consultancy BrainReserve, Inc., Faith Popcorn, and author, business strategist and cultural critic Adam Hanft, the book includes 1,500 new, emerging and just-invented terms in 35 diverse categories, leaving no aspect of our lives untouched. |
 | | Especially timely are the many words related to terrorism, including "distance terrorism," "terror entrepreneurs," and "stegotext" -- the practice of hiding terrorist messages in otherwise harmless Web sites. |
