All Tomorrow's Futures: Fictions That Disrupt

by Richard Barbrook, Benjamin Greenaway (Editor), Stephen Oram (Editor)

Welcome to a journey through speculative fictions, where the possibilities of tomorrow are explored like never before.

In a new collaborative approach, renowned experts, armed with their deep knowledge of justice, energy, digital money, longevity and learning, join forces with talented authors to weave narratives that transcend the future that you may currently believe is inevitable.

Situated in 'real-life' between accelerationism and scepticism, this volume of disruptions serves as a thought-provoking look into the potential consequences of scientific progress, technological development and societal evolution.

Be prepared to immerse yourself in speculative landscapes that spark discussions about the implications for our future human experience.
