Im März 2020 änderte sich alles. Homeoffice war plötzlich die neue Norm. Alle mussten sich digitalisieren und transformieren – ob sie wollten oder nicht. Die Arbeit drängte weiter ins restliche Leben, zur Erwerbsarbeit kam noch mehr Carearbeit. Die Schere zwischen systemrelevanten Berufen und Bürojobs ging weiter auf. Covid hat uns gezeigt, was in der Arbeitswelt nicht mehr funktioniert. Und da ist nicht nur die Pandemie. Überschwemmungen, Waldbrände, Inflation, Krieg – unsere Welt steht in Flammen, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes.

From Silicon Valley boardrooms to rural communes to academic philosophy departments, a seemingly inconceivable idea is being seriously discussed: that the end of humanity’s reign on earth is imminent, and that we should welcome it. Anthropocene antihumanism has been inspired by revulsion at...

Similar to Artificial Intelligence, there is no official universal definition what is, or what is not, the Metaverse. The Metaverse is not the mirror of an already existing physical world, but something completely new. Originated inside the virtual reality, it is not limited by the laws of physics.

Reflection Attitude includes a collection of nearly 100 articles I have written over the past thirty years. The articles span a broad range of categories including Business, Climate Change, Communications, Crypto, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Music, Research, Robotics, Science, Space, and Technology. After each article, I discuss what I got right and where I was wrong and then a short reflection on what I see in the future. Following is what some thought leaders thought of Reflection Attitude.

In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our "digital age" is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialization of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support.

Self-driving electric cars! Trips to the Moon and Mars! A world where fossil fuels are no longer needed! An age where humanoid robots will do the dangerous, boring jobs! Welcome to the world that Elon Musk is creating.

Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands. Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world.

The beloved author of The Revenge of Analog lays out a case for a human future--not the false technological utopia we've been living. For years, consumers have been promised a simple, carefree digital future. We could live, work, learn, and play from the comforts of our homes, and have...

Soziale Gerechtigkeit bedeutet gerechte Verteilung von Zeit. Zeit ist die zentrale Ressource unserer Gesellschaft. Doch sie steht nicht allen gleichermaßen zur Verfügung.

Was sagen einem Astrophysiker die Sterne über die Welt und das Leben? Kann ein Wirtschaftsprofessor die Entwicklung der Finanzwelt vorhersagen und was bedeutet das für unseren Alltag? Und überhaupt: Gibt es sie, die Formel für die Zukunft? Antworten auf solche Fragen geben Harald Lesch und Thomas Schwartz in ihrem neuen Buch. Sie verbinden Mathematik, Ökologie und vor allem viel Alltagsklugheit zu einem brillanten Blick in das Hier, Jetzt und Morgen.

Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out "what's for dinner on Mars" is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home. For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

“A fascinating, provocative case that the metaverse will not merely transform our virtual experience—it may actually enrich the quality of our lives” (Adam Grant)—from the visionary co-founder of one of today’s most innovative technology companies “This important book offers a highly...

Mit kühlem Kopf durch heiße Zeiten! Während die Temperaturen im Sommer immer weiter in die Höhe schießen, müssen wir uns diesen Winter verdammt warm anziehen. Eine Situation, in die wir uns durch viele falsche Entscheidungen in der Vergangenheit selbst gebracht haben. Wussten Sie, dass in Finnland die Grünen auf Kernenergie setzen? Und dass, würden wir ganz auf Wind und Sonne setzen, in einer windstillen Nacht schon nach 40 Minuten unsere Energiespeicher leer sind? Aber was erwartet man von einer Nation, die schon mit dem Bau eines Flughafens überfordert ist.

It is often said that quantum technologies are poised to change the world as we know it, but cutting through the hype, what will quantum technologies actually mean for countries and their citizens? In Law and Policy for the Quantum Age, Chris Jay Hoofnagle and Simson L. Garfinkel explain the genesis of quantum information science (QIS) and the resulting quantum technologies that are most exciting: quantum sensing, computing, and communication.

Imagine a world with a robot in every home, office, and hospital. While many people may not yet be able to fully conceptualize it, this is the future that awaits us. The robot revolution will change our lives in ways we can't even yet imagine. With rapid advances in robotics technology, artificial intelligence, and battery energy storage, society is on the cusp of witnessing a breakthrough in a new kind of industrial revolution—one that will see intelligent robots playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives.

What will it take to restore balance to our world, repair past injustices, and support future generations' survival?

Die Wirtschaft wächst und wächst, Technologie wird leistungsfähiger und das globale Klima erwärmt sich weiter und weiter. Gefühlt wird alles immer schneller. Doch es ist nicht nur ein Gefühl. "Große Beschleunigung" nennen Forschende dieses Phänomen, um das es auch in diesem Podcast geht. Der Journalist Christian Stöcker hilft im Gespräch mit Expertinnen und Experten, die Große Beschleunigung besser zu begreifen.

In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution.
