Synopsis

This book takes us into the future. Inayatullah and Milojević explore five emerging issues that have the potential to dramatically impact wellbeing, food systems, climate change, gender equity, the family, and how we learn. They ask:

  • Will the city of the future be preventive, able to provide early indicators of illness and wellbeing?
  • Will the likely transition from meat to cellular agriculture transform the global food supply chain, shifting how we produce food and what we eat?
  • Will women lead the Way and create a partnership society or will their - our - dreams be shattered?
  • Will the family, stable for generations, if not hundreds of years, transform, becoming more diversified and inclusive of social and technological changes?
  • Will learning transform, moving from the factory model to alternative paradigms such as the ecological or the digital? Will we be able to learn anytime, anywhere, from anyone?

The book answers these questions by exploring the contradictions between emerging futures and tired pasts. Join us on this disruptive journey.
