Description

The future isn’t what it was. In this volatile era, with the world changing abruptly, people are more curious than ever to know what lies ahead.

Will relentless consumerism finally end up destroying our planet? Or can science and technology allow us to innovate our way out of trouble? Perhaps a greater social consciousness and community-based living will take over ― or, conversely, the competition for limited resources may result in everyone fighting for themselves.

Drawing on these four conceivable futures, Richard Watson and Oliver Freeman invite us to examine critically the risks and opportunities to come. They discuss the key factors, trends, critical uncertainties, and wildcards to be able to shape the future, guiding us to a greater awareness of long-term problems and conceivable solutions ― and empowering us not only to adapt to what might happen, but also to shape our future and to generate change.

It’s unimaginable to know for certain what the future holds, but we will be able to put off some of its surprises by engaging in a meaningful debate about the choices we are facing now. This book shows us how.
