From long-lived materials like plastic and nuclear waste, to the 50 million kilometres of roads spanning the planet, in modern times we have created numerous objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time.

Wenn Europas Autobauer überleben wollen, müssen sie sich radikal umstrukturieren - sowohl mental als auch real. Ex-Audi-Vorstand Peter Mertens ist überzeugt: Zukunftsfähig sind nur die Unternehmen, die mehr Nachhaltigkeit wagen, die sich stark machen für mehr europäische Souveränität in der globalen Automotive Industrie und sich öffnen für Kooperationen innerhalb und außerhalb der Branche. Dabei ist ein Zusammenschluss von Wirtschaft, Politik und Wissenschaft ebenso nötig wie ein neues Verständnis dessen, was ein Auto überhaupt ist.

Die Klimakrise wird nicht mit der gleichen politischen Tatkraft und Dringlichkeit angegangen wie aktuell die Corona-Pandemie. Konservative, sozialdemokratische und liberale Ansätze scheitern nicht nur an einer Lösung der mit dem Klimawandel verbundenen Probleme, sie verschärfen sie sogar weiter. Wir befinden uns in einer Krise der politischen Utopie und Vorstellungskraft. Walter Ötsch und Nina Horaczek beleuchten die Ursachen dieser Krise. Sie betonen die Bedeutung von konkreten Bildern für inspirierende Zukunftsvisionen und zeigen Auswege aus der Krise der politischen Imagination auf.

Ein Leitfaden für diejenigen, die unsere Zukunft aktiv gestalten: erhellend und oft überraschend.

Unsere Mobilität ist im radikalen Umbruch. Elektromobilität zieht in unseren Alltag ein, wir teilen unsere Fahrzeuge und Fahrten, lassen uns auf der App die besten Fahrwege anzeigen, springen vom Scooter in die Bahn und ins Auto und testen die ersten autonom gefahrenen Meter. Wir erfinden Mobilität neu - überall auf der Welt. Mobilität ist aber noch viel mehr als die Frage: "Wie komme ich von A nach B?" Sie ist ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis, der Ausdruck unserer Bewegungsfreiheit in unserer demokratischen Gesellschaftsordnung.

In a letter to her six-year-old daughter, Julietta Singh ventures toward a tender vision of the future, lifting up children’s radical embrace of possibility as a model for how we might live. If we wish to survive the looming political and ecological crises of our day, Singh contends, we must break from the conventions we have inherited, and orient ourselves toward revolutionary paths that might yet set us free. The Breaks celebrates queer family-making, communal living, and Brown girlhood, complicating the US’ stark binaries.

As capitalism, rooted in scarcity, reaches its limits, the book proposes a new paradigm — a fusion of data-driven economics and spiritual awakening. Grounded in Sanatana Dharma yet open to all, Kalkiism sees the figure of Kalki not just as a person, but as a global frequency of transformation. It calls for a pilot project in Nepal to model this new system, where dignity, cooperation, and inner knowledge guide decision-making.
