Where and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might
happen if we stay on our current course? The Future of Stuff asks
what kind of world will we live in when every item of property has
a digital trace, when nothing can be lost and everything has a
story. Will property and ownership become as fluid as film is
today: summoned on demand, dismissed with a swipe? What will this
mean for how we buy, rent, share and dispose of stuff? About what
our stuff says about us? And how will this impact on us, on
manufacturing and supply, and on the planet? This brief but mighty
book is one of five that comprise the first set of FUTURES essays.
Each standalone book presents the author's original vision of a
singular aspect of the future which inspires in them hope or
reticence, optimism or fear. Read individually, these essays will
inform, entertain and challenge. Together, they form a picture of
what might lie ahead, and ask the reader to imagine how we might
make the transition from here to there, from now to then.
