Dennoch ist und bleibt er optimistisch. Herausforderungen haben die Menschen immer wieder gezwungen, zu wachsen und sich in die nächste Phase ihrer Entwicklung zu begeben, indem sie die Paradigmenwechsel, mit denen sie konfrontiert waren, auf mustergültige Weise bewältigten. Wir befinden uns jetzt in einem Abschnitt, in dem wir in eine neue Phase unserer Entwicklung eintreten müssen, und dieses Mal müssen wir gleichzeitig drei kritische Paradigmenwechsel bewältigen:

In Rad Future, Boemeke proves that nuclear is not just the most effective form of energy production, it’s also the key to unlocking even more important and revolutionary technology. What's more, she shows why nuclear energy is actually safe, and how a negative public image paired with a few highly preventable disasters have led us to fumble the bag on the cleanest, most environmentally friendly and powerful form of energy available to us.

An invaluable guide to how to think—and not to think—about the future, by one of the premier futurists of our time.

In ‘Humans Are Doomed To Go Extinct’, an article in Scientific American published in November 2021, veteran Nature editor Dr Henry Gee predicted that Homo sapiens is on a rapid one-way ride to extinction. The article provoked media coverage and comment around the world. In The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire, Gee expands the themes of his much-discussed article to book length, charting both the rise as well as the fall of humans. Gee paints a picture of extinction within the next 10,000 years – and suggests ways that our exceptional species might avoid its fate.

Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change explores skills we need to successfully navigate the distinctive environmental, social, and economic challenges of the twenty-first century. Our inability to address increasing resource constraints, social conflict, and ecological decline lead many toward a deep pessimism that saps motivation for change. Drawing on research from environmental science, ethics, psychology, sociology and educational theory, William M. Throop shows why cultivating underdeveloped skills can enable flourishing within our context.

Los retos son numerosos y resulta fundamental repensar cómo nos alimentaremos en el futuro. Foodtech es la guía de referencia para curiosos y profesionales del sector que quieran profundizar en los secretos de esta revolucionaria industria.

David Christian, historian and best-selling author of Origin Story, is renowned for pioneering the emerging discipline of Big History, which surveys the whole of the past. But with Future Stories, he casts his sharp analytical eye forward, offering an introduction to the strange world of the future, and a guide to what we think we know about it at all scales, from the predictive mechanisms of single-celled organisms and tomato plants to the merging of colossal galaxies billions of years from now.

Der Westen ist am Ende. Es ist spät, wahrscheinlich sogar schon zu spät, um noch eine andere Richtung einzuschlagen, und niemand weiß, was aus dem Zusammenprall zwischen dem politisch korrekten Denken und der Wirklichkeit entstehen wird. Und trotzdem müssen wir weiterleben: leben mit dem Niedergang Europas; leben mit der Gewissheit, dass morgen schlimmer sein wird als heute; leben mit dem Wissen, dass die Tage der abendländischen Zivilisation, so wie wir sie heute kennen, gezählt sind.

Will machines someday replace attorneys, physicians, computer programmers, and world leaders? What about composers, painters, and novelists? Will tomorrow’s supercomputers duplicate and exceed humans? Are we just wetware, natural computers doomed to obsolescence by tomorrow’s ultra-powerful artificial intelligence? In Non-Computable You: What You Do That Artificial Intelligence Never Will, Robert J. Marks II answers these and other fascinating questions with his trademark blend of whimsy and expertise.

Klimakrise, rassistische Attentate, die Corona-Pandemie oder fehlende Gleichberechtigung: Die vergangenen Jahre haben gezeigt, dass auf der Welt etwas schiefläuft. Wir stehen als Gesellschaft vor riesigen Herausforderungen, denen wir Lösungen entgegensetzen müssen. Was wir brauchen? Eine neue Debattenkultur! Louisa Dellert begibt sich auf eine digitale Deutschlandreise. Sie spricht mit Betroffenen über die Themen, die uns alle etwas angehen: Feminismus, Migration, Alltagsrassismus, Chancen(un)gleichheit, digitale Gewalt und mehr.

Die Menschheit befindet sich in einem gewaltigen Transformationsprozess. Die Menge dessen, was anzupacken, zu reparieren und neu auszurichten ist, scheint übergroß. Wie finden wir Kompass, Kreativität und Courage, um diese Herausforderungen weniger zu bekämpfen als viel mehr zu gestalten? Und: wer ist eigentlich wir und warum ist das so wichtig? Die Art, wie wir leben, wird sich fundamental verändern. Bisherige Selbstverständlichkeiten in Umwelt, Wirtschaft, Politik, Gesellschaft und Technologie zerbröseln.

Demokratie und Wohlstand, ein längeres Leben, mehr Gleichberechtigung und Bildung: Der Kapitalismus hat viel Positives bewirkt. Zugleich ruiniert er jedoch Klima und Umwelt, sodass die Menschheit nun existenziell gefährdet ist. "Grünes Wachstum" soll die Rettung sein, aber Wirtschaftsexpertin und Bestsellerautorin Ulrike Herrmann hält dagegen: Verständlich und messerscharf erklärt sie in ihrem neuen Hörbuch, warum wir stattdessen "grünes Schrumpfen" brauchen. Die Klimakrise verschärft sich täglich, aber konkret ändert sich fast nichts.

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks speaks to the world's leading thinkers about morality today. In this fascinating series, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks explores what morality means, speaking with globally renowned thinkers, as well as voices from the next generation. From Steven Pinker and Robert Putnam to Melinda Gates and Jordan Peterson, the guests discuss the free market and the financial crash, selfies and social media, individuals and tribalism, artificial intelligence, role models, and rediscovering politics of the common good.

Sensationalism about AI has reached new heights, and getting a useful understanding of it has never been more important. AI will extend and accelerate thinking, delivering unprecedented abundance. But it will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from today’s issues of bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines. This book is the roadmap to that path.

Today, Elon Musk's SpaceX is building one human-rated reusable spacecraft every week designed to send 100 colonists to Mars on each voyage. With this brilliant plan, SpaceX aims to colonize the Red Planet. This is not science fiction. These ships are in construction every day at a startling pace in order to make humanity a multiplanetary species, beginning this decade. Departing Earth Forever is the first manual written to and for Martian colonists—and for humankind back on the home planet witnessing this single most historic and momentous event in human history.

The singularity is the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI), and the associated transformation of the human condition. Spoiler alert: That transformation will be profound. Despite the importance of the concept of the singularity, the subject receives nothing like the attention it deserves. This book seeks to dispel the confusion, to untangle the distortions, to highlight practical steps forward, and to attract much more serious attention to the singularity. The future of humanity is at stake.

Sensational media reports speculate about the "rise of the machines" but fail to see that there's no real intelligence in AI. It is not an all-seeing master, but rather a functional tool that must combine with the intelligence we possess to be effective. With The AI Republic, Terence Tse, Mark Esposito, and Danny Goh have not written a book for coders, but for everyone curious about a future shaped by AI. They demystify this life-changing technology and explain how we can build a shared space where humans and intelligent automation work together.

If you had a trillion dollars and a year to spend it for the good of the world and the advancement of science, what would you do? It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or Amazon. It's a much smaller sum than the world found to bail out its banks in 2008 or deal with Covid-19. But what could you achieve with $1 trillion? You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease. You could end global poverty.
