How can dystopian futures help provide the motivation to change the
ways we operate day to day? Futures Beyond Dystopia takes the view
that the dominant trends in the world suggest a long-term decline
into unliveable Dystopian futures. The human prospect is therefore
very challenging, yet the perception of dangers and dysfunctions is
the first step towards dealing with them. The motivation to avoid
future dangers is matched by the human need to create plans and
move forward. These twin motivations can be very powerful and help
to stimulate the fields of Futures Studies and Applied Foresight.
This analysis of current Futures practice is split into six
sections: * The Case Against Hegemony * Expanding and Deepening a
Futures Frame * Futures Studies and the Integral Agenda * Social
Learning through Applied Foresight * Strategies and Outlooks * The
Dialectic of Foresight and Experience. This fascinating book will
stimulate anyone involved in Futures work around the world and will
challenge practitioners and others to re-examine many of their
assumptions, methodologies and practices.
