About the author

The Future Is Elsewhere is for those who sense that the old maps no longer apply. It explores how artificial intelligence, digital labor, and emerging technologies are not just changing tools or workflows, but rewriting the fundamentals of strategy, leadership, and value creation. Each edition connects technological shifts to deeper questions about power, work, culture, and decision-making, with a focus on what we must unlearn, redesign, and take responsibility for in an age of machine intelligence.

Written by Mike Walsh, a futurist and the CEO of Tomorrow, the newsletter sits at the intersection of AI, economics, and organizational design. Mike is a regular columnist for Harvard Business Review, a strategic advisor to Fortune 50 companies, and a sought-after keynote speaker known for translating complex technological change into clear, provocative insights for senior executives.

The Future Is Elsewhere builds on ideas Mike has developed across his previous books, including The Algorithmic Leader, The Dictionary of Dangerous Ideas, and Futuretainment, all of which anticipated major shifts in technology, media, and work well before they entered the mainstream.

Mike’s forthcoming book, Abundant Intelligence (Harvard Business Review Press) is scheduled for 2027. Co-authored with Nitin Mittal, Deloitte’s Global Head of AI, the book draws on dozens of conversations with CTOs, CIOs, and senior executives across banking, energy, automotive, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and insurance - and provides a provocative framework for a world where humans and machine intelligence must co-exist.
