Filmmaker and writer Mike Freedman speaks with a range of experts from a variety of backgrounds about what the future has in store for humanity.
Post-growth economics, sustainability, water privatisation, rejuvenation biotechnology, cyber-security and the war on drugs are some of the topics covered, featuring new insights from diverse thinkers including Richard Heinberg, Derrick Jensen, Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Dr David Nutt and Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
With passion, foresight and a willingness to look difficult facts in the face, these conversations paint an honest and often troubling picture of the future that we are building.
What kind of world do we want to live in over the coming decades? What society and environment do we want to leave behind for our children?
"For anyone who wants an accessible but no-holds-barred insight into emerging paradigms of participatory, prosperous and peaceful societies that nurture rather than degrade their environment, this is an essential resource." - Dr Nafeez Ahmed
