The Birthday Book 2016 - Thryft

Envisions Singapore's future through youthful perspectives.

If you're curious about where Singapore might be headed and enjoy diverse viewpoints, "The Birthday Book 2016" could be quite the treat. It's like listening in on a symposium of the nation's rising stars—each with their own vision for the country's journey forward. Their collective essays provide not just food for thought but a feast of aspirations and challenges that are distinctly Singaporean.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
