- Reading
- Read a chapter at a time, pausing to separate what is presented as a current problem from what is proposed or predicted for the future.
- Themes
- Predicting what comes next: The book explores how people forecast the future and asks whether predictions will prove accurate. Its focus is on the process of forecasting and the possibility that predictions may be wrong.
- Future-facing challenges: The book considers questions about feeding a growing population, producing less rubbish and addressing health and environmental concerns. These issues are presented as problems to think about alongside possible future technologies.
- Worth knowing
- Food, environmental change, waste, health and technologies such as robots feature among its topics; the book frames them as questions about the future.
