The point is simple: prediction is very difficult (if not
impossible) to get right. The best we can hope for from our
futurists is to draw attention to unfolding patterns and their
possible implications. That's it. And that is what this book does.
It was developed from a presentation given to a meeting of Fellows
of the Royal Society for Arts and Manufacturing (RSA) held in
Vancouver in 2011, and explores several unfolding patterns and
their possible implications. I seek here to offer an interpretation
of the significance of these developments in terms of unfolding and
overlapping 'S' curves, and suggest that there is an opportunity
for a new enlightenment or Renaissance, despite the disruption many
of the patterns I describe have on our understanding of the world
around us. This Renaissance can already be seen in some regions of
the world, and there are signs everywhere of the change it will
involve. Towards the end of the book, these examples are explored
to illustrate what the new Renaissance may be like.
