Unsere Welt steht an einem Kipp-Punkt, und wir spüren es. Einerseits geht es uns so gut wie nie, andererseits zeigen sich Verwerfungen, Zerstörung und Krise, wohin wir sehen. Ob Umwelt oder Gesellschaft - scheinbar gleichzeitig sind unsere Systeme unter Stress geraten. Wir ahnen: So wie es ist, wird und kann es nicht bleiben. Wie finden wir zu einer Lebensweise, die das Wohlergehen des Planeten mit dem der Menschheit versöhnt? Wo liegt der Weg zwischen Verbotsregime und Schuldfragen auf der einen und Wachstumswahn und Technikversprechen auf der anderen Seite?

Die rasante Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz, die ersten Quantencomputer und die Automatisierung von immer weiteren Lebens- und Arbeitsbereichen wird massive Auswirkungen auf unsere Zukunft und unser Wirtschaftsmodell haben. Algorithmen werden zu Autoritäten und diese werden unvermeidlich im Wettbewerb gegeneinander antreten. Aber Technologie allein kann und wird nicht die Antwort auf alle unsere Herausforderungen sein. Noch sind wir Menschen die Treiber und Bindeglieder, die unsere Umwelt, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Realität steuern können.

L'anno che verrà ci deve molte risposte. Dopo un anno sconvolto dal Coronavirus, è importante capire il 2021: studiare le sfide chiave dall'economia alla politica, dal cambiamento climatico alla cultura. Good Morning Italia cura una selezione di grandi firme del giornalismo italiano ci accompagna nell'esercizio sul futuro, riflettendo sui protagonisti e sulle tendenze fondamentali per iniziare l'anno che verrà.

Come sarà il mondo da qui a trent'anni? Come cambierà la nostra vita grazie o a causa della tecnologia sempre più pervasiva? E come dobbiamo prepararci noi e i nostri figli per saper intercettare al meglio i cambiamenti già in atto ma che da noi, in Italia, arrivano sempre in ritardo? Dopo il caustico pamphlet "Muovete il culo!", Alberto Forchielli torna a scuotere le coscienze degli italiani per prepararli al mondo di domani. E lo fa con un viaggio pirotecnico nei luoghi in cui il futuro non si aspetta ma si costruisce.

Nell'agosto 2014 lo scienziato Alessandro Vesespignani riceve una chiamata: un'epidemia senza precedenti sta distruggendo la Guinea, presto contagerà il resto del mondo. Il nome del virus è ormai noto a tutti: Ebola. Vespignani e il suo team si collegano a un supercomputer e, grazie ad algoritmi e simulazioni, riescono a prevedere la diffusione del virus con mesi di anticipo. Predire il futuro è la nostra ossessione sin dall'alba dei tempi.

"Ein Mann, der uns mit einem radikal anderen Blick auf die Welt zum Nachdenken zwingt", urteilt Bundespräsident Steinmeier über den Denker aus Singapur. Diesen anderen, neuen Blick stellt Parag Khanna in "Move" eindrucksvoll unter Beweis. Er bringt Geschichte, Politik und die natürlichen Lebensbedingungen des Menschen, die sich gerade rasant verändern, zusammen und leitet daraus Voraussagen für die Zukunft ab. Seine Grundthese: Die Menschheit wird sich in den nächsten Jahrzehnten neu auf der Erde verteilen (müssen).

James Lovelock, der Schöpfer der Gaia-Hypothese und berühmteste Ökodenker unserer Zeit, ist im vergangenen Juli 100 Jahre alt geworden - und hat ein neues Buch mit einer spektakulären These veröffentlicht. Darin prophezeit er gelassen das Ende des Anthropozäns und den Anbruch einer neuen Zeit: Mit unserer Gegenwart hat das "Novozän" begonnen, das Zeitalter der Hyperintelligenz. Schon sehr bald wird aus der künstlichen Intelligenz eine neue Art von Lebewesen hervorgehen: Cyborgs, die 10000 mal schneller sein werden als wir.

Aerospace journalist Joe Pappalardo has witnessed space rocket launches around the world, from the jungle of French Guiana to the coastline of California. In his comprehensive work Spaceport Earth, Pappalardo describes the rise of private companies in the United States and how they are reshaping the way the world is using space for industry and science. Spaceport Earth is a travelogue through modern space history as it is being made.

In Analogia, technology historian George Dyson presents a startling look back at the analog age and life before the digital revolution - and an unsettling vision of what comes next.

Nano Comes to Life opens a window onto the nanoscale - the infinitesimal realm of proteins and DNA where physics and cellular and molecular biology meet - and introduces listeners to the rapidly evolving nanotechnologies that are allowing us to manipulate the very building blocks of life. Sonia Contera gives an insider's perspective on this new frontier, revealing how nanotechnology enables a new kind of multidisciplinary science that is poised to give us control over our own biology, our health, and our lives.

Former physicist Andrew Maynard threads together his love of science-fiction movies with his expertise on emerging technologies to engage, entertain, and make you think about the relationship between technology and society. Through the imagination and creativity of science-fiction movies, Maynard introduces listeners to the profound capabilities presented by new and emerging technologies, and the complex personal and societal challenges they present. 

Academic, physicist, environmental expert and award-winning science communicator Paul Behrens presents a radical analysis of a civilisation on the brink of catastrophe. Setting out the pressing existential threats we face, he writes, in alternating chapters, of what the future could look like at its most pessimistic and hopeful. In lucid and clear-sighted prose, Behrens argues that structural problems need structural solutions and examines critical areas in which political will is required, including women's education, food and energy security, biodiversity and economics.

Imagine an imminent future where American voters are bombarded with personalized political messages from every smart device - at home, in cars, on sidewalks; the digital infosphere. Big Data so fine-tuned, no two voters hear the same proposition. You come home to a hologrammatic, AI-powered Donald Trump chatbot perched in your kitchen, asking personal questions - knowing everywhere you went, everything you searched, and how much you spent on lunch. We’re rushing toward this dystopia right now.

It has been argued that science fiction (SF) gives a kind of weather forecast - not the telling of a fortune but rather the rough feeling of what the future might be like. The intention in this audiobook is to consider some of these bygone forecasts made by SF and to use this as a prism through which to view current developments in science and technology.

AI is a present reality: we live at the threshold of an AI-dominated era. AI is more than a Technology wave. In the 21st century and beyond it is the very core source of power that fuels politics, business, and society: our minds, our work, and our homes. AI also rewrites the rules and forces us to lose no time in rethinking fundamental questions of our humanity. Our human brains will soon be required to adapt at hyper speed to a new paradigm of omnipresent machine intelligence. We all have to deal with both its opportunities and threats in a conscious manner.
