Hope alone can be transformational—but in moments of despair, or when you’re up against profound injustice, it isn’t enough on its own. Hope without action is, at best, naive. At its worst, it tricks you into giving up the power and agency you have to change systems that cause suffering. Enter critical hope: a spark of passion, an abiding belief that transformation is not just possible, but vital. This is hope in action: a vibrant, engaged practice and a commitment to honoring transformative potential across a vast spectrum of experience.

"Das alte Denken hat uns weit gebracht, aber es bringt uns nicht mehr weiter." - Petra Bock. In tausenden Beratungsgesprächen hat die Transformationsforscherin und Managementberaterin Petra Bock ein Muster in unserem Denken entdeckt, das die Ursache unserer heutigen Probleme und der Code der menschlichen Zivilisation sein könnte. Es lässt uns sogar dann, wenn wir alles haben, Leben als Überlebenskampf verstehen und macht uns zu einer Spezies, die sich und ihre Umwelt bis zur Selbstzerstörung ausbeutet.

In How to Create a Mind, Ray Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilization: reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines. Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges, brain-computer interfaces, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence to address the world’s problems.

In the near future, developments in bio-enhancement technologies will not only alter how we make a living, communicate, and interact with each other, but will offer direct and precise control over our own physical and mental states. People will be able to sculpt their own selfhood over time, reshaping their bodies, augmenting their cognition, micromanaging their emotions and moods, and reconfiguring their character and personality. In this captivating audio series from Michael Bess, you’ll explore the promise and peril of tinkering with human bodies and identities.

Bridge Makers: Becoming a Citizen Futurist answers an echoing call for a beginner’s guide to foresight. Drawing from her decades of experience in high-tech, April Reagan presents an array of historical information, tools, and research to guide listeners through an educational journey. Bridge Makers is designed as an easy listen that aims to spark an interest in every citizen to find agency in their anticipation of the future. This is done by painting the past, present, and future with optimism, while still encouraging all to maintain a sense of urgency to act.

A tremendous upheaval is coming this century: with every degree of temperature increase, roughly a billion people will be pushed outside the zone in which humans have lived for thousands of years. While we can and should do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable. Mass migration will remake the world in the 21st century, either by accident, or design—and as Royal Society Science Prize-winning science journalist Gaia Vince shows us, far better the latter.

A lo largo del último siglo, la humanidad ha logrado lo imposible frenando la hambruna, la peste y la guerra. Por primera vez en la historia, más personas mueren por obesidad que por pasar hambre y hay más probabilidades de quitarse la vida que de morir en un conflicto bélico o un atentado terrorista.

Ein hochdringlicher Weckruf und ein starkes Plädoyer für eine Politik, die sich der Realität stellt. Wir leben in einer Zeit nie da gewesener Herausforderungen. Zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Zivilisation ist sogar das Überleben der Menschen auf dem Planeten Erde gefährdet. Der sich beschleunigende Klimawandel macht das Erreichen des 1,5-Grad-Ziels mit jedem Tag unwahrscheinlicher. Kipppunkte des Klimawandels werden von der Wissenschaft warnend beschrieben und trotzdem überschritten.

“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.

Artificial intelligence has long been a mainstay of science fiction, and increasingly it feels as if AI is entering our everyday lives, with technology like Apple’s Siri now prominent and self-driving cars almost upon us. But what do we actually mean when we talk about ‘AI’? What has it done for us so far? And what technologies could it yield in the future? AI expert Yorick Wilks takes a journey through the history of artificial intelligence up to the present day, examining its origins, controversies and achievements, as well as looking into just how it works.

In atemberaubendem Tempo haben die Menschen den Planeten ihren Bedürfnissen unterworfen. Im 21. Jahrhundert stehen sie vor den Scherben ihres Tuns: Die natürlichen Ressourcen erschöpft, die Klimaerwärmung eine tödliche Bedrohung, globale Pandemien eine akute Gefahr. Werden wir auch diese Krise meistern? Die Bestsellerautoren Johannes Krause und Thomas Trappe zeigen, was wir aus der Vergangenheit für unser Überleben lernen können - und welche Gefahren in der zügellosen Kraft des Menschen liegen.

Eine Chinesin, die es wagt, ihren brasilianischen Freund nicht mehr länger nur in einer virussicheren, virtuellen Realität zu treffen. Ein junger Mann in Sri Lanka, der mittels autonomer Fahrzeuge Leben rettet. Ein Münchner Quantencomputerprofi, der die Welt mit KI-gesteuerten Waffen ins Chaos stürzen will... In KI 2041 haben sich der international bekannteste KI-Experte und ein führender Science-Fiction-Autor zusammengetan, um eine zwingende Frage zu beantworten: Wie wird künstliche Intelligenz unser Leben in zwanzig Jahren verändert haben?

Almost daily, scientists are sounding dire warnings about the effects of climate change. Our young will bear an unprecedented burden. They are eager to discover what can be done, as time slips away. But few of them - or us - are aware that global warming is but one facet of a looming planetary catastrophe.

El futuro ya se está inventando en los laboratorios de los científicos más punteros de todo el mundo. Con toda probabilidad, en 2100 controlaremos los ordenadores a través de diminutos sensores cerebrales y podremos mover objetos con el poder de nuestras mentes, la inteligencia artificial estará en todas partes y lentillas con conexión a internet pondrán toda la información a nuestro alcance en un simple parpadeo.

We have been underselling the future. In fact, the future will be neither dystopia nor utopia (which is an actively harmful dichotomy) - it will be what we do the work to make it. And the best way to the brightest future is to focus on what we can do, and make sure we are working to get there. Kate O’Neill, author of Tech Humanist and Pixels and Place, explores the ways we have already begun to solve human problems at scale, and makes the case for an approach that’s both hopeful and strategic as our best chance at a truly bright future.

The way we live, work, and consume will massively transform soon. Do you see it happening already? The COVID-19 pandemic was just the first of many disruptions to come. Before year 2030, ecological thresholds will be surpassed, humanity will be fully connected via the internet, social inequalities will reach critical mass, and exponential technologies will become truly “smart”. We have reached the inflection point in which all of humanity can pause to reexamine and to redefine our “normal” mode of operation in business, politics, community, and life!

A paradigm-shifting manifesto for transforming our thinking from reactionary short-termism to the long-term, widening our scope beyond today, tomorrow, and to even five hundred years from now to reclaim meaning in our lives.

We all know there are major, overlapping, global crises ahead of humanity: climate change, mass migration, new warfare, big tech, further pandemics, authoritarian capitalism. Rather than be daunted, this book charts a way that we can respond. With expertise from his work at the highest levels of international politics, education, activism and business, Tom Fletcher offers a practical manifesto that can help us transform the way we learn, live and work together. Amongst its key survival skills, this book offers ideas on how we renew education, restore society and reimagine the future.

El apocalipsis ha obsesionado a gente de tantas culturas y épocas que solo cabe decir que viene sucediendo hace demasiado tiempo. Pero pocas oportunidades fueron tan propicias para que el imaginario colectivo albergara pronósticos de una catástrofe definitiva como aquel 2012 en el que Ignacio Padilla publicó este ensayo.

Aprikosen aus Hamburg, öffentliche Kühlräume für Berlin. Steppenlandschaft in Brandenburg, Tigermückenplagen im Rheinland. Starkregen und Sturzfluten, Waldsterben, ausgetrocknete Seen.
