This is the true story about the future that few visionaries have
the knowledge necessary to put together. In order to drive the
development of technology and sustainability forward there will be
a need for considerable investment and collective action. The need
to drive large-scale development and transformation activity is
usually overlooked when experts in narrow fields project present
trends into the future. The foundation of our future has been laid,
or maybe not, by past decisions and activities, or lack thereof, by
politicians and their voters. The enemy has already been identified
and many of us know that is it us, but few ofour leaders have a
picture of the path forward that needs to be taken in order to
create the future that many people already see as inevitable. We
try to contribute on the basis of different pictures of how the
future might be created, but large-scale changes cannot be achieved
through small-scale activities. It took 400,000 Americans and
almost ten years to send three men to the moon in 1969. The
following facts may be noted: the transformation to electric
mobility is still in its infancy; less than one per cent of cars
are electric and the growth is very slow in most countries.
Artificial intelligence is also at an early stage of development
and the technologies necessary in order to make Industry 4.0 a
reality are still too expensive to be applied on a large scale and
by most companies. The same is true for the principles of the
circular economy. So far mostly low-hanging fruit have been picked
and the principles have not been developed to a point where they
can be universally applied. In order to create the future that many
already see as inevitable there is a need for substantial
investment and even larger transformation programmes. If existing
generations want to experience it, instead of something much worse,
we need to get our act together and approach transformation in a
systematic manner. This book presents a well-founded argument about
the remedies of contemporary societal challenges, and offers a much
needed, sobered-uplook at the complex endeavors that lie ahead.
Larsson's book disentangles intricate concepts connected to
technology, business, industry and society, and does it free from
the jargon and romanticizing we often encounter in everyday
conversation. - Professor Thomas Kalling at Lund University School
of Economics & Management.
