A Compelling Vision of the Future "Maynard has written a thoughtful
and thought-provoking response to the moment we're in, chronicling
how we got here, where we're going, and what role we have in that
journey" Ramona Pringle, Director of Creative Innovation Studio and
Associate Professor, Ryerson University #1 New Release in Science
& Math and Physics of Time Human beings can and do change the
future. Humanity has gained the ability not only to imagine the
future, but to design and engineer it. At times entertaining, and
at others profound, Future Rising provides an original perspective
on our relationship with the future. We have a responsibility to
change the future for the better. As a species, we have become
talented architects of our future. And yet, we so often struggle to
come to terms with what this means. As innovation and rapidly
shifting norms and expectations drive our world at breakneck speed,
we sometimes need to find a still, quiet place to pause and think.
Future Rising sets out to create such a quiet place, where we can
take advantage of our species' knowledge of world history, and the
importance of science to piece together a positive future. To
create a good future, rediscover the past. Our relationship with
the future is inextricably intertwined with where we've come from,
who we are, and what we aspire to. Written to be easy to pick up
and hard to put down, Future Rising starts at the beginning of all
things with the Big Bang and traces a pathway along the emergence
of intelligent life, through what makes humans uniquely capable of
imagining and creating different futures. If you enjoy nonfiction
science and history books like Life 3.0, The Future of Humanity, or
Superintelligence, then you'll love Future Rising. In a series of
sixty short reflections, Future Rising will take you on a journey
into: What "the future" actually is How it molds and guides our
lives How we can use the history of the world to change our future
