'The future hasn't happened yet. The idea that our civilisation is
doomed is not established fact. It is a story we tell ourselves.'
In the 1980s, we gave up on the future. When we look ahead now, we
imagine economic collapse, environmental disaster and the zombie
apocalypse. But what if we are wrong? What if this bleak outlook is
a generational quirk that afflicted those raised in the twentieth
century, but which is already beginning to pass? What if we do have
a future after all? John Higgs takes us on a journey past the
technological hype and headlines to discover why we shouldn't trust
the predictions of science fiction, why nature is not as helpless
as we assume and why purpose can never be automated. In the
process, we will come to a better understanding of what lies ahead
and how, despite everything - despite all the horrors and
instability we face - we can build a better future.
