Zeigt Titel in Zukunftsstudien

World leaders have promised everything to everyone. But they are failing. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are supposed to be delivered by 2030. The goals literally promise everything, like eradicating poverty, hunger and disease; stopping war and climate change, ending corruption, fixing education along with countless other promises.

Seit seinem Weltbestseller "Megatrends", der in 57 Ländern veröffentlicht wurde, steht die Zukunft im Mittelpunkt von John Naisbitts Arbeit als Autor und Redner. Aber was hat es eigentlich mit seinen verblüffend exakten Zukunftsprognosen auf sich? Der Beststellerautor plaudert aus dem Nähkästchen und stellt uns seine erstaunlichen "Mindsets", seine Denkmuster vor. Dabei verrät er uns auch, wie wir selbst von ihnen Gebrauch machen können und damit ganz entscheidend unsere Zukunft beeinflussen können - beruflich ebenso wie privat.

The Internet and smartphone are just the latest in a 250-year-long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact. The coming Augmented Age, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts, and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be one of the first to score a new Apple Watch or iPhone, the next generation of wearables will be able to predict if we're likely to have a heart attack and recommend a course of action.

Manchmal ist es nicht leicht, Science-Fiction von Magie zu trennen. Wenn sich Kirk und Spock auf einen anderen Planeten beamen lassen, erscheint das nicht weniger unwirklich, als wenn Harry und Hermine an einen fremden Ort apparieren.

Zugegeben, Teleportation und Warp-Antrieb biegen sich die Quanten- und Relativitätstheorie gehörig zurecht.

A bold re-examination of the past, present, and future of humanity, Stellar challenges conventional thinking and offers a vision of hope and optimism—a necessary antidote to the fear and despair that define our times. Stellar uncovers the root causes of today’s biggest challenges, from war and economic instability to inequality and environmental collapse. It reveals why solutions to these issues are little more than band-aids, why our political and economic structures are failing, and how to unlock humanity’s full potential.

Peter Frase argues that increasing automation and a growing scarcity of resources, thanks to climate change, will bring it all tumbling down. In Four Futures, Frase imagines how this postcapitalist world might look, deploying the tools of both social science and speculative fiction to explore what communism, rentism, socialism, and exterminism might actually entail.
