In this volume, the authors contribute to futures research by
placing the counterfactual question in the future tense. They
explore the possible outcomes of future, and consider how future
decisions are turning points that may produce different global
outcomes. This book focuses on a dozen or so intractable issues
that span politics, religion, and technology, each addressed in
individual chapters. Until now, most scenarios written by futurists
have been built on cause and effect narratives or depended on
numerical models derived from historical relationships. In
contrast, many of the scenarios written for this book are point
descriptions of future discontinuities, a form allows more
thought-provoking presentations. Ultimately, this book demonstrates
that counterfactual thinking and point scenarios of discontinuities
are new, groundbreaking tools for futurists.
