Brings to mind a good book by Peter Frase called “Four Futures”. It’s a quick read. But sums up very well something we seem to have real trouble with - imagining the possible futures we could have. And importantly what we seem incapable of doing these days, based on that deciding to take actions that put us on a course for the future we prefer. There’s a disheartening lack of vision out there.
Edit: because of its short nature the audio book version is a good use of any built up audible credits.
- aalleavitch 8y agoThis is one of the reasons I desperately want Banks’ Culture novels to get more popular. I think it’s a positive vision of the future that would resonate really well with this generation. I’ve even been tossing around the beginnings of a TV script for Consider Phlebas, though I’m not a real writer so I’m not sure it’ll go anywhere.
