Four Futures

A small but still good book tackling the upcoming changes in our societies. It gives us some paths to think about our common future(s) which might not all be bright. While I liked the presentation of those 4 possible futures, it lacked a bit of depth for me, and as the author say, while me might know where we're going to end in those four futures, the path to them is still unsure and might be quite difficult. I'll keep an eye out for the changes to come, and hope & work for the best.

“That is the other important point of this book. We can't go back to the past, and we can't even hold on to what we have now. Something new is coming—and indeed, in some way, all four futures are already here, “unevenly distributed,” in William Gibson's phrase. It's up to us to build the collective power to fight for the futures we want.”
