The Future: A User’s Guide | Florence Gaub

 

 

If you are paralysed by fear whenever you think of what lies ahead, futurologist Florence Gaub’s book is the perfect antidote, briskly challenging that notion that we have no say in the future, either as individuals or citizens. Her advice to everyone, whether or not they are policymakers, is to combine creativity with and knowledge to imagine the best, prepare for the worst and – perhaps hardest of all – to accommodate surprise. A refreshing, empowering take on the near and far horizon.
