"We Are Not Anonymous" - new novel 31 March 2025

NUDGE THE FUTURE: it's ours and it's up for grabs...

Interesting the scale is all about technology not about civilisation... I'd be wanting to see a trajectory towards a decent civilisation first before even considering this sort of 'trajectory'. If colonisation has taught us anything it's to be wary of unsubtle societies having power (in both senses)

I have to admit to not having read Foundation - are these scales from that? I need to read (on the large TBR pile)...

Thrutopia - grounded, plausible & inspiring route maps from a recognisable present towards a future we’d be proud to leave behind.

Zoefuturism - there are no still moments in life, in nature, in our cosmos; everything (inc. us) is changing in relation to its surroundings, as it all keeps becoming.

I've recently become interested in Thrutopias and Zoefuturism as 'genres' to give a different perspective to the binary temptations of Utopia or Dystopia - either how we get there or acknowledge 'there' is in constant change.

Agree... my angle was that these are the possibilities and it's up to us to make sure we get the future(s) we want (starting with understanding the options and an idea of what we might want). That nuance got a bit lost.

Thank you - a new publisher to watch too I feel...
